"We don't know what to do" is presented as a Contemporary dance show that arises from the encounter and creative dialogue between two prominent figures in dance: Alicia Soto and Carmen Werner Both choreographers, with different backgrounds and styles but with a life dedicated to dance, come together to explore, through the movement of their bodies, the search for certainties. However, the only truth they find is the one that gives the work its title: "We Don't Know What to Do." This piece is the result of the collaboration between the Alicia Soto-Hojarasca company and Provisional Danza, founded by Carmen Werner. The show is presented as a face-to-face dialogue, where the performers and creators test their ability to establish communication through movement, searching on stage for a truth and certainties that can generate a meeting point between two highly divergent trajectories, but also full of convergences. The work is part of a cycle called "Les Refusés" and is aimed at all audiences, with a duration of approximately 50 minutes.
The synopsis of "We Don't Know What to Do" focuses on the Choreographic dialogue between Alicia Soto and Carmen Werner, two creative women with different forms of expression and artistic trajectories, who coincide in a time and space full of similarities. The work poses the question of how to communicate when words fall short or are not understood, exploring this concern through movement. The text that accompanies the description of the show suggests an atmosphere of tiredness and shared weariness ("-But... are you listening to me? -I'm fed up -Me too"), plunging the performers and the audience into a darkness that envelops everyone. In this context, the idea that "while the wise man stumbles against some wall, the ignorant man remains calm in the center of the room" (Anatole France) is highlighted, suggesting that doubt and searching, although uncomfortable, are part of a deeper process of knowledge. The performance is presented as a wall that dances outside itself, in a space where footprints evaporate the air dreamed of by gazes, and where the movements adopted by the place find their inspiration in the intimacy liberated by the emotions generated by the body. The dialogues, drawn by the silence of the shadows, seek the certainty of doubt in the clarity of the reflected waters, concluding with the affirmation, "We don't know what to do... We'll keep dancing."
Choreography Alicia Soto and Carmen Werner
When words show their fragility, we discover the doubts that remain hidden in thought.
We are a wall dancing outside of it in a space where the footprints evaporate the air dreamed by the looks. The movements adopted by the place find their breath in the intimacy released by the emotions generated with the body.
The dialogues attracted by the silence of the shadow seek in the clarity of the reflected waters the certainty of doubt. We don't know what to do... We'll keep dancing.

With the Collaboration:
The project "We don't know what to do" was born from the Collaboration between two renowned choreographers and performers: Alicia Soto, head of her company Alicia Soto-Hojarasca, and Carmen Werner, founder of Provisional DanzaThe essence of the project lies in creating a space for artistic encounter and dialogue between two different choreographic trajectories and aesthetics. Both artists, with a long and recognized career in the world of dance, decide to unite their experiences and languages to explore, through movement, the search for certainties and truths in the creative and personal spheres. The title itself, "We Don't Know What to Do," reflects the honesty and vulnerability with which they approach this process, accepting uncertainty as a fundamental part of the creative act and of life itself. The project materializes in a contemporary dance performance where the body is the main vehicle of expression, and where the interaction and contrast between the two performers generate a unique narrative. It is a co-production between the companies of both artists, which demonstrates a joint effort to carry out this artistic exploration. The objective, therefore, is to explore the possibilities of choreographic dialogue and the construction of a common language based on the diversity of styles and experiences.
