OUR FOOTSTEPS - Migrants’ narratives / Theatre performance
Waar: Perdu Theater, Kloveniersburgwal 86 , Amsterdam, Netherlands
Wanneer: 18/05/2019 - 20:30
Migrants share stories of their journey and living in the Netherlands facing a long lasting uncertainty after having crossed many, colonial, borders.
The result of 5 months of playful improvisational rehearsals, where through self-representation, migrants share stories of their journey and living in the Netherlands facing a long lasting uncertainty after having crossed many, colonial, borders.
The arts engaged in society, will represent today’s turmoil. We come together as migrants, political refugees and locals in order to create this truthful engagement: an act of theatre, poetry, music, performance art, choreography. And an act of activism, of human and political togetherness. Projects such as this one are seldom seen in the Netherlands. Hence our artistic intervention.
It’s time to stop seeing the migrant as ‘problematic’ or ‘troublesome.’ It’s time to go beyond the politics of social segregation as mass distraction.
Our performance seeks to transcend the political pitfalls of discrimination and hate peculiar to our present and confused world. We want our performance to be a safe haven, a place where diversity is richness and discrimination can only vanish.
Be welcome!
