The phone vibrates. A message. Times, numbers, deals – and a warning. All in code. CODE is Justice in Motion's explosive urban odyssey into County Lines and knife crime. Blending physical theatre, parkour, trials bike stunts and live rap, this adrenaline-fuelled production exposes how vulnerable young people are groomed and exploited by organised drug gangs. Inspired by true case studies, the show takes audiences inside a hidden world operating in plain sight. Raw, urgent and unflinching, CODE asks: when you're trapped at home, in school, on the street – is there a way out?
