Q5 is a 70-minute long film inspired by the energy, feeling and expressiveness of Waacking; also known as Whacking or Punking. A dance form that emerged in the 1970s as an expression of oppression in the Latin and African-American LGBTQI+ underground clubs of Los Angeles. Through the sounds and movement language of Waacking, the 5 performers in the film dive into the 5th dimension. They explore different colors, portals, perspectives and worlds within worlds. All in search of the essence: The Quintessentials! The original theater performance and tour of '21 was canceled due to Covid and transformed into a 5-episode Waacking movie series that will be shown exclusively at Cinedans in Amsterdam.
Please note that this film is show in Amsterdam and tickets for Q5 can be bought via Eye Amsterdam. Q5 is part of Cinedans.
