2UNBREAKABLE

Joanna (24) and Serhat (26) both share a passion for breaking. With Breaking set to debut at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, they‘re thrilled for the chance to elevate their art. Yet, they also recognize the challenge of balancing the integrity of breaking culture with Olympic standards. Breaking, originating in 1970s New York, has evolved from street to Olympic stage. BBoys and BGirls now compete in judged battles, bridging the gap between street culture and the Olympic system.

Serhat, a member of Germany‘s national squad since discovering breaking at six, values the opportunity deeply. His Uyghur background adds layers to his journey, with his parents having fled China for Germany in 1995. Balancing training, studies, and performances, he yearns for more time with loved ones. Joanna, aspiring to join the national squad, juggles training, family responsibilities, and psychology studies. Raised by Bulgarian parents who prioritized education, she faces the challenge of maintaining her dedication to breaking amidst life‘s demands. Both Joanna and Serhat navigate the pressures of performance without losing sight of breaking‘s authentic culture.
