Three internationally acclaimed artists and Rolex mentoring programme’s fellows – Maya Zbib (theatre, Lebanon), Lee Serle (dance, Australia) and Mateo López (visual arts, Colombia) – will unite in a unique creative collaboration to present Listening to Walls Wear Off Their Colour, for three performances only, at the Baxter on 16 and 17 January 2026.
Blending movement, image and performance, this evocative work explores how to find moments of connection and reflection in a world marked by displacement, isolation and constant change. Presented by the Baxter Theatre, in partnership with the Rolex Perpetual Arts Initiative, Zbib and Serle will perform alongside two South African dancers (Lorin Sookool and Grant van Ster) in a shifting landscape of stories and bodies – where individual journeys intertwine to reveal a powerful collective narrative.
The performance forms an ever-shifting landscape and architecture of frames, revealing and concealing a myriad of fictional characters and moving bodies. Their stories are followed in abstract narratives; they can be anyone.
What: Listening to Walls Wear Off Their Colour
Where and when: The Baxter for three performances only on Friday 16 January 2026 at 7.30pm and Saturday 17 January 2026 at 2.30pm and 7.30pm
