Performances
Jah!

In the year 2021 Dalton won the price Nederlandse Dansdagen Maastricht and Last year he won The Next! 2022 award for his upcoming piece 'Jah!', and tonight he will be previewing an excerpt from this.

In Jah! Dalton brings the story of his two fathers, who both follow the Rastafari movement, to the theaters. They found the strength and positivity in the movement and thus found a way to reflect on their colonial family history, personal identity and position in society. In the performance, Jansen tries to explore the beauty of the Rastafari movement, in order to free himself from the shame of this and to embrace his roots. Personal yet universal, he delves deeply into his own history and places it in the wider context of society.

The full performance will premiere in June 2024. A preview of the piece will be shown during the Dansdagen, supplemented with a documentary and a live interview with the choreographer.
