With SKLTR*, krump steps out of the streets and bursts onto the stage, merging two singular voices shaped by radically different paths. The result is a striking, cathartic aesthetic collision.
*Pronounced [skul-tur]
Born in the ghettos of Los Angeles in the early 2000s, krump is a dance form rooted in raw, unfiltered expression. Its sharp, explosive vocabulary channels power, tension, and collective momentum through the body. Vladimir “7Starr” Laurore, a driving force within the discipline, and Charles “Brøken” Brecard bring together their respective practices - 7Skopez and FLUIDIFY - to create SKLTR, grounded in a world inspired by dark fantasy. The stage becomes an arena where legendary warriors confront their inner demons, fall, rise again, and persist.
Five performers, leading figures in krump, unleash a dense, surging energy carried by continuous currents of movement. Their bodies shift between intensity and release, precision and abandon. Set to an original score by Tomas Furey, a hypnotic choreographic texture takes shape - one where fury is forged into a transformative force.



A leading figure of krump in Canada, 7Starr dedicates his artistic practice to the affirmation, transmission, and evolution of this culture.
At the crossroads of somatic practices, choreographic creation, and poetry, Charles Brecard develops a body of work rooted in movement and commitment.
