Anton de Kom, mijn vader - Raymi Sambo maakt
In Anton de Kom, my fatherDoris takes the audience into a story, but it quickly grows into a deeply personal quest.
As an adopted child from Suriname, she feels alienated from her Dutch parents.
She experiences her family as a puzzle that never quite fits and decides to look for her roots.
That search leads her to the life story of Anton de Kom, the legendary Surinamese resistance hero who resisted colonial oppression.
His struggle, ideals and courage touch her deeply.
The more Doris delves into his life, the more she sees the parallels with her own struggles.
Anton de Kom feels like the father she never knew, a guide in her search for identity and recognition.
What does family mean and to what extent does origin determine who you are?
Anton de Kom, my father is a moving and inspiring performance about struggle, solidarity and the fundamental question: “Who are you at home with?”
