FATHER FIGURE 2020
10 years after Father Father, choreographer Lloyd Marengo returns to theatres with its successor: Father Figure.
A compact, "in your face" dance performance showcases the struggle of 4 b-boys and a percussionist with the theme of the father figure. Soulful breakdance scenes, repetitive rhythms, and dynamic and still images make Father Figure an impressive dance collage.
Father Figure is a production by Lloydscompany. Under the flag of Lloydscompany, dancers/upcoming urban makers and the underground battle scene come together. The company produces performances, thus bridging the gap between the street and the stage.
Founder Lloyd Marengo grew up in the rough Rotterdam of the 1980s and learned to dance on the streets. In the 1990s, his hangout in Rotterdam West became the epicentre of hip-hop. Lloyd made a splash with the 010 B-boys, who achieved worldwide success and put Rotterdam hip-hop and street culture on the map. Lloyd is one of the founders of the Hip Hop House; he has worked with Scapino and Conny Janssen Danst, among others, and was featured during the Dutch Dance Days.
Father Figure can still be seen in Dutch theatres until the end of June.
