Travel to the turbulent 70s and 80s in Suriname. Six players reveal their complicated struggles and challenge you to think about what it means to fight for freedom. With humor, nostalgic and poetic visuals, combative music and intense confrontations, the performance unfolds as a love letter to the older generation, in which the understanding of toxic survival mechanisms is central.

This inspiring performance takes a look at the consequences of centuries of oppression, with special attention to the personal stories of Surinamese. BRADA reveals the heroes, the villains, and the forgotten freedom fighters who fought for their ancestors, family, and children. Do not miss it.
