Discover through dance the magic of encountering others, the shared feeling of time spent together. That changing space of complicity that inhabits relationships between people is revealed intimately and openly through movement.

An encounter between two people, an embrace, feeling the other, communication without words, feeling time immersed in a world created between two people. Mutual support. A time that expands and stops as if it will never end.

A transformation, a change. Parts that begin to fall, others that hold on. That moment is forgotten and the differences come to light: opposites, fragility and strength; letting go and the desire for control. Balance and instability. True human nature.

Together to Get Thereis the result of a collaboration between Lali Ayguadé and Akira Yoshida following a joyful previous collaboration. It is a production that emerged from the creative residencies of DNA 2023-Navarra Dance Festival of the Government of Navarra, and its presentation at Museo en Danza is the result of the collaboration between the University of Navarra Museum and that edition.

Akira Yoshida

He began breakdancing informally with his friends. Over the years, he began competing and won more than 60 awards in Spain, France, and Austria. At the age of 23, he began a transition to contemporary dance and the performing arts. After receiving the Principal Artistic Scholarship of Navarra, he studied at SEAD (Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance).

He has worked as a dancer and choreographer with various national and international companies. In collaboration with Laly Aiguadé, he created the duet "Gizaki" and with Chevy Jurado, "Hito," both of which received several awards and nominations.

He currently combines tours of his own work with tours for other companies and workshops around the world at festivals such as DeltebreDansa, B12, Kalamata International Dance Festival, Flip Helsinki, Portugal Summer Intensive, etc.

LALI AYGUADÉ

He trained in the 1990s at the Institut del Teatre in Barcelona and P.A.R.T.S., directed by Anna Teresa de Keersmaeker. He began working in Denmark with the Publik Eye company and playwright Carmen Mehnert before joining the Akram Khan Company and Hofesd Schechter in London.

After working with various artists and creating pieces of different formats and content, he formed his own company in Barcelona in 2013. In 2015, he began researching the concept of identity, which led to the creation of his first long-format work, Kokoro, followed by iU an Mi in 2017 and Hidden in 2020 (which won an award at the 2021 Premis Butacas).
