West

2025 · 15 min

A hypnotic, reflective ride where movement and landscape blur into a meditative, wordless travel diary.

Overview
Breakdance collective 155 rides from Utrecht (Netherlands) to Accra (Ghana, Africa) together with their motorcycle crew. 10,000 km of asphalt, reflection, art-making, and survival. Escaping the grind at home, riding into the unknown, chasing inspiration and fresh perspectives. This short dance film explores the parallel between being deep in a journey — overwhelmed by new impressions, unable to fully process or make sense of them — and the ability to express all of that through movement. The memories are stored not through thought, but through motion. It’s a tough ride that slowly reveals how much we take for granted, how dance speaks across all borders, and how the most instinctive, unplanned creations often become the most honest ones
