Témoin — Saïdo Lehlouh
“Although b-boying is at the origin of my dance, I quickly expanded my playing field to embrace numerous influences beyond hip hop. This fusion of influences now informs the various projects I’ve carried out, whether solo, in pairs, or in a collective, always paying close attention to the diversity of backgrounds and the concept of the group. I thus aim primarily to showcase self-taught performers and blur the boundaries between stage and audience, performance space and outside it, and to create spaces that encourage dialog.”
Témoin [Witness] came out of several years of working with self-taught dancers, who are “witnesses” to their time, their dance, their generation. How we engage in improvisation fuels the choreography which is propelled by the dynamics of deep listening and the impetus of the encounter.
