Unstable Grounds – Première- Peter Somuah (North Sea Round Town) ^{North Sea Round Town}

Unstable Grounds is a provocative and compelling multidisciplinary performance that brings together music, dance and visual art in a powerful reflection on the enduring influence of colonization in Africa. Somuah explores how this legacy continues to resonate in education, religion and social structures today – often in ways that are not immediately apparent. “People think colonialism is something from the past,” says Somuah. “But the effects are still there, mentally and socially. It has shaped how we see ourselves, and how others see us.”

With this project, Somuah wants to create awareness – not through words, but through the language of music, rhythm and movement. Together with an (inter)national cast of performers with African, South American and British roots – Cassie Kinoshi, Ildo Nandja, Dane Paris and Revé Terborg – he invites the audience to become part of an experience that unfolds layer by layer. Unstable Grounds is not a traditional performance, but a sensory journey through sound, body and image, in which you are confronted with history, identity and the power of collective imagination.
