New Olympic sport - ZDF brings documentary about Breaking to the movies
B-Girls and B-Boys are called the dancers and dancers, whose heart beats for Breaking. At the upcoming Summer Games in Paris, the urban dance style, also known as Breakdance, will be present for the first time as an Olympic sport. Germany is also sending a team to compete for the medals. In the context of the ZDF program "37°", Maike Conway (57) has filmed a documentary about this sport, which comes to the cinemas on June 20th.
"2Unbreakable" follows the two main characters Joanna, "BGirl Joanna", and Serhat, "BBoy Said", in their daily life as Breakers. While the 25-year-old from Dresden is still fighting for her entry into the federal squad and giving everything for her big dream, Serhat has already achieved this leap. The 37-year-old from Munich has given up his studies for Breaking and now lives only for dancing.
Breaking has a "special energy"
For director Conway, "2Unbreakable", the first feature film in the ZDF series "37°" about dancers, is a fulfillment of a long-standing wish. "Since I make films, it has been my dream to make a documentary film about dancers. The energy and joy of life that is transferred in battles is particularly noticeable. My interest was always to get to know the lives of dancers and them themselves," she is quoted as saying in the ZDF press release.
The Breaking competitions will take place on August 9th and 10th in Paris on the Place de la Concorde. In 60 seconds, the 16 female dancers and 16 male dancers must convince the jury with "technique, versatility, creativity, personality, presentation skills, and musicality", according to the Olympic team website. For Germany, Pauline Nettesheim (31) and Sanja Jilwan Rasul (31) have qualified for the Olympics.
