Hip-Hop at Christmas? Isn’t it supposed to be all about flute playing and the sound of bells? That it can be done differently is proved by the company Renegade. With few words and a lot of movement, it tells a fast-paced Christmas story about festivities, rituals, and social cohesion. Of course, there’s plenty of action and laughter as well.

Christmas is just around the corner, along with the traditional Christmas party at the high-rise on Emscherstraße 55. But this year, everything is different. The new caretaker Ülkü Öztürk, who has just moved in with his daughter Yasemin, is supposed to organize the communal celebration in the building. However, he has no clue about Christmas, and his daughter Yasemin would rather train with her hip-hop crew for a big dance competition. So, quickly pulling out his smartphone and – click – the Christmas professional is ordered.

As the first urban dance company in Germany, Renegade has won numerous awards since 2003 and brought street dance Hip-Hop to the big stages. Although the project transitioned into the new URBAN ART ENSEMBLE RUHR in early 2023, the most popular pieces from the Renegade repertoire have remained. The "Weihnachtsroboter" is one of them – a dance theater piece for everyone who celebrates Christmas and also for those who do not.
