How do we pass down a legacy? What about instinct? In this striking amalgamation of two styles that are worlds apart, young krumping prodigy Adeline Kerry Cruz, guided by undisputed krump master Jr  Maddripp, enters into conversation with contemporary dancer Siaska Chareyre. On stage, two generations collide and two styles converge, as choreographer Maud Le Pladec examines questions of cultural identity and transfer in dance. 

This poetic diptych blends the established Western canon of contemporary dance with the intense, instinctive urban art of krumping to create a meeting space where traditions intersect Krumping, an artform which emerged out of South-Central Los Angeles, is known for its radical authenticity, channeling raw power through movement to overcome adversity. This rhythmic, fast-paced, exaggerated style of street dance requires battling dancers to exert incredible technical mastery using five basic moves to emit and receive energy. 

Silent Legacy is an ode to the vitality of dance, to the grandeur of that silent legacy passed down to dancers on their own journeys, to connections between different people, each with their own unique story. What movement do these artists carry with them? How do they forge their own dance? This performance shines a spotlight on legacy, the world of dance and the institutions that control it, recognizing that the art of dance is in constant evolution.
