Izaak Brandt debuts breaking performance at Serpentine Pavilion in London
Breakdancer Izaak Brandt unveiled his new work Soft Shell at the Serpentine Pavilion in London last week.
Artist discusses personal health struggles
Brandt was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis after three years of worsening symptoms. Doctors initially investigated cancer because his condition became so severe. He states that this illness has changed how he views his physical body.
New art programme launches globally
The performance marked the start of XXIe Siècle, a new global art programme focused on performing arts. This project combines sculpture with a seven-person choreography centered on breaking. The work explores themes of hardness and softness alongside strength and fragility.
