“Why is it that I feel most at home in a car? Always on the move. Not daring to stand still.” Brabant and Sierra Leone. Singer and Actress. Loud and Quiet. Full of life and afraid to die. Happy and grieving. Through musical storytelling, reflection, resilience and redefining how the different phases of her life have affected her, NITE ensemble member Sarah Janneh creates a musical narrative from diverse influences in an effort to provide a more fluid and inclusive view of what it means to be home. Her quest to find and redefine what true belonging means takes her from the carnival in Brabant to the suburbs of Johannesburg and finally to her father's house in Sierra Leone. The experience gained during that tour has been the basis for the further development of Brabo Leone.
45 minutes before the start, an introduction will be given by Zola Westerhof, musician and musical theater maker. You can reserve a spot for this free of charge during the ordering process.
