Making its highly anticipated Australian debut, this season, exclusive to Sydney has a strictly limited run of just five performances.

The artistry of urban sports takes centre stage

Elements of Freestyle is about those redeeming seconds that make a complicated trick ultimately succeed; about the freestylers’ total focus on the moment, the ecstasy and the feeling of complete and total freedom. 

In a spectacular fusion of breakdance, inline skating, skateboarding, freestyle basketball, BMX and freerunning, discover the artistry behind the tricks. Simultaneously both exquisitely beautiful and heart-poundingly exciting, director Marco Gerris’ (So You Think You Can Dance) show packs a punch. You simply will not believe your eyes.

Sometimes it’s just unbelievable… You have to experience this, experience it in full colour, live and soaked in music.

Musicalnieuws

Elements of Freestyle feels like next-gen ‘Stomp’ or ‘Cirque du Soleil’ without the tedious pretension.
