Lloyds Company is exploring the possibilities for a new performance where the South African dance moves of the Soweto Skeleton Movers will be combined with the intense dance of Create4. Lloydscompany previously created a dance performance called 'Unbreakable' with the five Soweto Skeletono Movers. This was a great success; it even became part of a visit by the royal couple to South Africa. Create4 is a dance group of Black male dancers where choreographer Ibrah Silas Jackson, accompanied by Lloydscompany, takes on the choreography.

The dancers of Create4 are African-oriented. "In that, I see a connection to South Africa, where the Soweto Skeleton Movers are popular with their pantsula dance," says Marengo. Together with Ibrah Silas Jackson, he is exploring where the styles of the two groups can meet. "We are looking for depth in those two styles and trying to create a unity from them."

In early 2026, Marengo and Jackson will be back in South Africa to continue working on this piece with the dancers. They hope to put on a great show in two years in collaboration with Bos Theatre Producties. Lloydscompany also collaborated on this in 2013 for the performance LOUD.

UNBREAKABLE

In a combination of genuine acting, lively African dance styles, humour, and impressive visuals, the Soweto Skeleton Movers from Johannesburg tell their personal life stories. Despite many setbacks and wrong temptations that crossed their paths, these five dancers are 'unbreakable'.

The audience is taken on a joyful and overwhelming journey by the Soweto Skeleton Movers through a mix of singing, street scenes, captivating visuals, and their 'skeleton pantsula,' a blend of traditional South African street dance (Pantsula) and 'bone breaking.' All of this is supported by a contemporary soundtrack featuring melodic Afrohouse tunes and pumping Amapiano beats. Welcome to Soweto!

Unbreakable is a promising collaboration between Rotterdam choreographer Lloyd Marengo, London theatre director Jonzi D, and the five explosively energetic dancers of the Soweto Skeleton Movers, who have long outgrown their humble status as street performers and now perform worldwide.In a combination of genuine acting, lively African dance styles, humour, and impressive visuals, the Soweto Skeleton Movers from Johannesburg tell their personal life stories.
