Brazilian plastic artist duo OSGEMEOS designes figures and expansive elements for Flying Pictures, a new production by Flying Steps Entertainment, the most successful German company in developing urban dance shows.
Honji Wang and Sébastien Ramirez provide artistic direction to this creation, in collaboration with Vartan Bassil, founder and CEO of Flying Steps Entertainment.
Backed by an adaptation of Mussorgsky's famous piano piece, this project also features the work of a group of choreographers, the urban dance crew Flying Steps and live musicians.
The show premiere took place in April at the Hamburger Bahnhof Museum
in Berlin.

The skill on show in Monchichi, in everything from the conception, the choreography, to the performance,
is tremendous.
(…) It’s not an easy thing to make a performance as intricate as this seems,
both easy and charmingly raw, but
Wang and Ramirez pull it off.
It moves quickly, and has the light, bubbly quality of French champagne as drunk in
a screwball comedy from the 1930s.

aka Prequell & Wang Ramirez.

(...) Sébastien Ramirez and Honji Wang have the talent and vision in spades. With their individual specialities in hip-hop, aerial movement and martial arts, for Dystopian Dream they have created a unique dance language that is totally compelling,
exciting and surprising.
Honji Wang and Sébastien Ramirez have adapted their 2011 production for children
and their families with two new young
performers: Shihya Peng and Marco
Di Nardo.
"(...) the delicate line between experiment and risk, balance and motion, and,
in the duets, dependence and interdependence."

"Separately and together, they deliver
astonishment after astonishment."

a captivated audience."

(...) side by side, their last names have become the access code to a hip-hop appealing to a much wider audience for which this inseparable couple
is the glamorous leader.
