Booms Day is Beautiful Chaos
Bevis is a wonder in motion as is all of the Dance Crash troupe. Deahr’s choreography is a blend of martial arts, freestyle, hip-hop, and breakdancing. It is very similar to Brazilian Capoeira with its graceful movements and intertwining of dancers.
Booms Day is the story of a hero’s journey starting with the trauma of loss, finding a tribe of fellow questers with their own motivations. There is conflict and more trauma to either triumph or succumb, but there is a return to home, which is not always a place but a state of consciousness. The hero/heroine gets to show what they are made of and pull strength from those also on the journey. Yeah, I got all of that from Booms Day. This is a collaboration of dancers who undertook a hero’s journey ending with this performance, and it was an excellent trip.
