Yeye
At Yeye dancer Rohiet Tjon Poen Gie, who grew up in Suriname, explores how his own Catholic beliefs relate to the traditional Afro-Surinamese winti religion.
Should the 'known' be let go first to make way for 'new' spirituality or can both stand side by side? In what ways are consequences of slavery felt in this regard? Rohiet shows with Yeye hip-hop and contemporary dance come together. Together with Ibrah Silas Jackson, he explores the relationship between denial and recognition, between push and pull.
