Hito, by Akira Yoshida and Chey Jurado: in the search for the simple the complex is found. Hito shows the pure existence of two friends, searching for something as simple as the act of living and how this living nourishes them with intimacy and support and at the same time alienates them. Inspired by hip-hop culture, contemporary dance and theatricality, Chey Jurado and Akira Yoshida synchronise their movements on stage to travel along different paths, losing themselves and finding new directions on the horizon.

Afrikan Party, created by Oulouy and performed by Supa Rich Kids. Telling the story of a boy born in 2090 in the United States of Africa, with a journey through the thousands of traditions, rituals and cultures that connect him to the past, present and future. A journey through every aspect of life; through dance, music and fashion. An ode to life, a celebration of what we can achieve when we are united. A window into an infinite field of possibilities for the new generations. This performance is a collaboration between Africa Moment and the HOP Festival.
