Integratieplan #2: Alles is Perspectief - Saman Amini

Cabaret

Saman Amini dives into integration plan 2 deeper into identity, culture and integration. This time with a renewed perspective: after 25 years he travels back to his birthplace and looks at Iran through a Western lens. He investigates politics, media and well -being and pays a critical look at the Netherlands with a renewed perspective. Perspective is everything. Integration, racism and the role of the media are the core of this performance. Are migrants a burden or a chance? Are extreme right -wing young people hostile or especially afraid of what they lose?

“I was recently in a taxi with a driver of Palestinian descent. He thought the Netherlands was fantastic. "Do you not suffer from racism?"He laughed: “I applied for asylum in Saudi Arabia, but they threw me in the desert. Understanding for your opposite - in a debate, a conflict or a conversation - people can bring people closer together. Perhaps our pain is not in what is being done to us, but in the idea that nobody understands us. ” - Saman Amini
