We Are Here was commissioned by the Belgian Lilith ensemble - the first contemporary chamber music ensemble in the world championing works solely by female composers. Inspired by the brave women of Afghanistan and a slogan they carried on a placard when they took to the streets in protest for their right to work and education, on release of the Lilith’s recording, We Are Here was subsequently selected for choregraphy by Ana Sofia Villar, Director of the Ballet Moderno y Folklórico National de Guatemala.
With the work inspiring the creation of a new dance piece on the themes of resilience and togetherness, We Are Here was performed by dancers Loyda Prado, Laura Morales and Karla Gomez at the Teatro Nacional Guatemala, across 4 nights, watched by an audience of 1200 in July 2024.
