Wicket
Cinedans 2026: Wicket
Wicket, a breakdancing legend rewrites his story in this electrifying tale of art, identity and coming out on your own terms.
Once a global icon, Bboy Wicket (Gabriel Jaochico) spent decades hiding his true identity. After 41 years in the closet, he confronts his past and the deep secret that shaped his life and career. Through legendary battle footage, candid interviews and raw emotional honesty, the documentary traces Wicket’s rise to fame and his long journey toward self-acceptance. It reveals how falling in love — with an artistic pursuit, another person, or oneself — can change the course of a life forever. Wicket is an intimate exploration of legacy, community and the freedom that comes with living as your whole self.
Bboy Wicket (Gabriel Jaochico) will be present and perform at March 28 at Arena in Eye Filmmuseum. Come see this legend!
