Jah! at Podium Mozaïek
In this moving performance, five people go in search of identity and investigate their relationships with each other. What does it mean to be a father and son? Which traumas do you pass on and which do you let go of? How do you form your own vision and values as a son with a father who grew up in a complex world in which he could not fully be himself?
Jah! at Podium Mozaïek
Dalton Jansen
Dalton Jansen inspired the performance by the story of his own father, who came to the Netherlands as a young Curaçaoan immigrant in the 1990s and raised his son based on the Rastafari ideology.
With the performance, Jansen hopes to dismantle stereotypes: being a Rastafari means more than just dreadlocks, cannabis and reggae. It is a lifestyle of peace, love and harmony. Rastas feel more connected to nature, the earth, the community and the spiritual. What can we learn from this in this time in which polarization and individualism are rife?
JAH! by choreographer Dalton Jansen is an ode to the black man in a western world and a celebration of fatherhood.
