Integratieplan #2: Alles is Perspectief - Saman Amini

What happens when you grow up in an AZC, where you are introduced to the perspectives of people from half the world, from Eastern Europe to West Africa? When you grow up with a welfare family in a Brabant farming village and work your way up to the cultural elite in the big city? It gives you a hyper-diverse circle of friends: from gay to homophobic, from feminist to sexist, from anarchist to journalist, from ex-criminal to former minister, from pro-refugee to ex-refugee who became anti-refugee. Everywhere you hear hard truths for which there is no room in the mainstream media.

In Alles is Perspectief Saman takes the audience through pain points that split the Netherlands today: fascism, racism, inequality, homophobia, LGBTQIA+ rights, the excessive woke culture and the role of the media in this polarization. However, Saman does not do this from behind a safe wall of opinions: he digs, investigates, talks to the people around him and crawls into the other person's skin - no matter how uncomfortable that is. Not to condemn, but to understand. 

Everything is Perspective is not a performance where you sink into your theater seat. This is cabaret that grates, stings and invites you to redetermine your position. But always with humor. Always with love. Always with the realization that the other person's perspective - no matter how distorted it may seem - comes from a source that is closer than you think.

“Maybe our pain is not in what is done to us, but in the idea that no one understands us.” — Saman Amini
