Break the 5th Wall

The relentless cycle of training, cyphers and battles in a Breaker’s search for identity.

Built from the lived experiences of Western Sydney breaking crew Flowtality, Break the 5th Wall follows how a Breaker is built. The stage moves through three phases: training on cardboard, where foundation is drilled and crews are formed through shared struggle; the cypher, where rivalries surface and names are earned in real time; and the battle, where pressure reaches its limit. A layered soundscape of local pioneers, community OGs and breakbeats drive the movement through a cycle drawn from Breaking and the five elements of Hip Hop.

Choreographers & Performers Gerard ‘Kid Tek’ Cabellon, Alejandro Scarone & Lawrence ‘The Law’ Bernal.
