Uniting eight dancers from Europe and Africa, from various cultural backgrounds, dance styles, body types and abilities, Lisi Estaras emphasises ‘mixability’ and the beauty of diversity. What We Can Do Together creates a space where everyone’s individuality is celebrated, fostering an environment of listening and understanding. Through a slow process that prioritises individual expression and continuous dialogue, the performers come together to share their unique re- alities and experiences. The result is a mesmerising display of different languages, blending humour, energy, emotion, and beauty. What We Can Do Together is an invitation to witness the power of inclusivity and the magic that happens when we truly listen to one another.

What We Can Do Together, a collaboration between MonkeyMind Company (BE) and Unmute Dance Company (SA), is Lisi Estaras' new inclusive dance creation. This work puts the performers' mixability and the nature of their communication at the centre of a reflection on resistance to the times we live in. Can we push the boundaries of language and frames and shift perspectives by being together?
