With a unique ability to choreograph in dialogue with dancers' own expressions and stories, Lehlouh opens CODA 2025. Témoin – French for "witness" – is an intense and visually spectacular dance drama, where some of Europe's fiercest club- and street dancers take the spotlight. From electro to break, waacking to krump. Each dancer carries their own story, style, and strength. The performance is the result of several years of collaboration with self-taught dancers from different generations. Witnesses to their own time, and bearers of a dance and life tradition that has never been tamed.

In the darkness, with smoke drifting over the stage floor, one dancer stands alone, while nineteen others watch silently, as witnesses. Then it begins: a body resisting an invisible force. A story told with muscles, breath, and rhythm. It starts cautiously but explodes into a physical and emotional storm that takes your breath away. What truly makes Témoin unique is the interaction. The silent respect, the shared heartbeat, the collective strength that emerges in the space: dance as solidarity and life experience.
