Lisi Estaras & Ido Batash | MonkeyMind Company
Lisi Estaras and Ido Batash first met in 2012 during the process of creating Alain Platel’s production C(H)OEURS. They soon sensed a close kinship in their approach to movement. They both have a penchant for agitating movements consisting of a succession of impulses that are each broken off so as to spring in a different direction, at a new tangent. This is the essence of the ‘monkey mind’ after which the company is named: it is the endless chattering in your head when you jump from one thought to the next as a monkey does from tree to tree. Their foundations are instinctive movements and the stream of thoughts.
