Le Témoin

Inspired by the world of Kafka, Le Témoin invites the audience on a journey where bodies, trapped, crushed, and united, attempt to escape…
Le Témoin bears the marks of a human adventure, the discovery of a city, an atmosphere, but also individuals.
This show was born out of a meeting in 2001 between Claude Brumachon and Benjamin Lamarche and dancers from the city of Prague. This experience gave rise to a reflection on the body and its limits, or rather on the body in the face of boundaries.
