the movement arena 2023
On Saturday, June 24, 2023, "the movement" invites international and local stars as well as up-and-coming talents of urban hip-hop movement art to compete in a high-profile "dance battle" in the Roman Arena of Augusta Raurica Theater. The main focus is on the "breaking" dance style, but the creativity of the performers is challenged by a mix of styles, freestyle performances, and various techniques. This makes the battle a unique spectacle for the audience as well.
The third edition of "the movement arena" takes place on Saturday, June 24, 2023, at the Augusta Raurica Theater. The Roman theater provides an impressive backdrop for the contemporary "dance battle". The contrast between antiquity and urban modernity will inspire and delight both participants and the audience.
