This year, we are teaming up again with Cinedans to bring you a selection of great dance films and documentaries at a brand new festival location in Vondelpark! One of them is 'Wicket' by Lily Plotkin, in which a breakdancing legend rewrites his story in an electrifying tale of art, identity and coming out on your own terms. More to be announced soon!
Lily Plotkin: Wicket (USA, 75 min)
Once a global icon, Bboy Wicket (Gabriel Jaochico) spent decades hiding his true identity. After 41 years in the closet, he confronts his past and the deep secret that shaped his life and career. Through legendary battle footage, candid interviews and raw emotional honesty, the documentary traces Wicket’s rise to fame and his long journey toward self-acceptance. It reveals how falling in love — with an artistic pursuit, another person, or oneself — can change the course of a life forever. Wicket is an intimate exploration of legacy, community and the freedom that comes with living as your whole self.
