Easter Eggs of Dialektro

If you missed the quotes and allusions in Dialektro, you came to the right place. Let’s see what could be found.

We continue with Michelangelo and the creation of Adam. The original can be found in the Sistine Chapel and it shows God himself in the process of bringing Adam to life. The LOrd is not in our repertoire, but a brofist in direct succession surely is.

And again New Kids Turbo. One reference was not enough for us. If you are fortunate enough to have a racing lawn mower on set, a burnout scene is mandatory.

If you make a boy group video without a mass dance scene, you haven’t exhausted your full potential. So we lived out our choreographic dreams – with a few nods to Clerks 2.
