KABITENI - Lloydscompany

Dans & ballet

let yourself be taken to Bendikonde, a Surinamese village, where Georgetina, the "Kabiteni" (captain) is at the helm. With the energetic hip-hop and Surinamese Awasa dance of the four other outspoken performers, her singing and stories are the heartbeat of Kabiteni . They take you into the story of the village in a backdrop of visuals, included in the interior of Suriname. The performance is surrounded by eclectic, warm and exciting compositions, inspired by hip hop, Awasa rhythms and life on the river. She has to balance between tradition and innovation, between how it was always and now. With that she monitors the future of her community, which once resisted slavery. The show translates this resistance and this power into the bustling hip -hop culture of today.
