20 dancers pool their collective energy in an explosive dance piece by renowned choreographer Saïdo Lehlouh. In a balancing act between energy, personality and decision-making, the dance is created in the liveliness of the moment. What unites the group is a strong common interest: Bringing together dancers with different styles and backgrounds to make the vibration and energy of their encounter the center of the choreography.

Saïdo Lehlouh originally comes from b-boying and is known as the breaker of the Bad Trip crew for his dynamic style, which combines flowing movements with authenticity. In Témoin, he expands his choreographic vocabulary with numerous influences that go beyond hip-hop and shape the development of the ensemble assembled here. Through the uniqueness of the dancers and their way of improvising, the piece is created in a dynamic of intense listening and encounter. Témoin is a unique experience that celebrates the beauty of instinctive and spontaneous hip-hop dance.
