Lia Estelle Widmaier draws on her extensive training in various dance styles, transitioning from classical training to urban and freestyle genres since moving to Berlin from Haiti in 2013. Since 2024, she has dedicated time to researching movements inspired by traditional Haitian folklore dance, culminating in her first co-production, "Les Gens Bless(és)”.
She is joined by Haitian experimental performer John Shades who combines acrobatics with contemporary dance practices. By blending their artistic visions together, they aim to fuse cultural heritage with contemporary expression.
