Story of his father
Dalton Jansen was inspired by the story of his father, who came to the Netherlands as a young immigrant from Curaçao in the 1990s and raised his son based on the Rastafari ideology.
What does it mean to be a father and a son? What traumas do you pass on and what do you let go of? How do you shape your own vision and values as a son with a father who grew up in a complex world where he could not be fully himself?
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 a time when polarization and individualism are rampant?
