BOUZID AIT ATMANE & SAÏDO LEHLOUH: OPENING
The performance begins like an elegant soirée—a stylish gathering among friends in a refined setting. Between champagne flutes and sharply dressed waiters, a quiet sense of boredom hangs in the air. Nothing has been left to chance, not even the DJ. Then suddenly, hip hop erupts—taking over bodies and shifting the entire atmosphere.

Ten dancers move effortlessly across the stage in a dynamic flow of battles, solos, group scenes, and suspended moments. With Opening, choreographers Ait Atmane and Lehlouh honour the raw, disruptive language of hip hop—a counterculture that continues to reinvent itself with energy, elegance, and edge. A journey back to the future of hip hop.
