You are transported to a Surinamese village, where Georgetina, the kabiteni (captain), is at the helm. Her singing and storytelling, combined with the energetic hip-hop and Surinamese Awasa dance of the other performers, form the heartbeat of KABITENI. They take you on a journey through their story, set against a backdrop of visuals from Suriname and accompanied by eclectic, warm and rousing music. Georgetina balances tradition and innovation, thereby safeguarding the future of her community, which once rose up against slavery. The performance translates this resistance and strength into today's vibrant hip-hop culture.
