26-year-old Serhat Perhat is one of the best break dancers in Germany. Breaking will be an Olympic discipline next year. But what happens to a subculture that suddenly finds itself in the limelight?
There are slight marks on the black linoleum floor. Slightly lighter than the dark plastic. Of hands that carry the body rotating above. Of sneakers whose rubber soles abruptly stop an explosive step. The squeaking reveals that the next bright spot remains on the black floor. The young people who immortalize themselves with their steps on the floor or rotate acrobatically along a body axis are here almost every evening at this time: the dancers of the Sankofa crew.
