Listen

In the winter of 2020 Together Productions created an animated film of Beyonce’s ‘Listen’, featuring members of the Mixed Up Chorus, a choir which brings people together across cultural, religious and political divides, the animation is a reflection on the shared experience of loneliness and isolation throughout the pandemic, the experience of not being listened to, and the powerful and transformative role that we can all play by offering a listening ear to those around us. The animation offers an optimistic view of how communities have come together through this challenging year to support and care for one another. The Mixed Up Chorus is proud to be raising awareness of the Samaritans.
