JAH!

Dalton Jansen inspired the performance by the story of his own father, who came to the Netherlands as a young Curaçaoan immigrant in the nineties and raised his son based on the Rastafari ideology.
About JAH!
JAH! by choreographer Dalton Jansen is an ode to the black man in a Western world and a celebration of fatherhood. Five performers search for their identity and 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?
With the performance, Jansen hopes to dismantle stereotypes: being a Rastafarian 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 when polarization and individualism are rampant?
