Radwan stands at his brother’s grave, confessing a long-buried truth, torn by a deep moral quandary. As he navigates betrayal, fate, and the weight of his choices, time moves forward and back, forcing him to confront the death he caused and the life he must now face. The performance unfolds as a musical storytelling piece, with musicians on stage creating live music that accompanies the narration, shifting between memory and reality, where the narrator moves fluidly between storytelling and past events. Rooted in a Palestinian-Lebanese collaboration, the piece echoes a shared history of land, loss, and resilience.
Down the road, up the river, lost in eternity.
Eyes are closed, closed is shut, in the middle of a dream
We’ve got no more choice, follow flows, follow waves, outside blue, yellowish, but inside, dark and grey.
Destination, there’s no map, gotta find it out inside,
Tired of these crazy fights, all I'm waiting for is light.
See the shadows going the way in the background like the waves, friend is leaving, time to go, bye, but we gotta, gotta stay. What to stay for?
What to stand for?
Friend, the silence way to loud, underneath the moonlit shrouds, heads are purple, broken towns, broken arms and broken eyes, look at me, you can’t deny, this world is always no one's place
Neither yours and neither mine. Who hurt the child at the entrance, before it became something else? Where did it start all this violence and what will occur when it tells?
Should I be sexy and hot today or repulsive and unlikeable? THIS IS FUN. Who else feels totally disillusioned?
Explosion! *Roar*! What?? Pink!
Surprise sauce revealed as the superior sauce.
Tune in or die.
N.B.: Alcohol will be available to help let go of the need to make sense of it all.
BOEM… KAPOT
later is voor losers
losers met plannen
prutsers
losers met plannen en inkomens
later gaan we kapot
BOEM… KAPOT
A ship is sinking in the murderous waters, A world full of lies, full of slaves, Full of doors, full of locks, full of ships, The vile captain disappears in that moment, I wish what I told you were a lie. Look at what man does to man.
Slaves and Locks’s lyrics are written by Irfan Alis / Peyk Band. He wrote this song after a refugee ship sank in the Aegean Sea in 2012.
For a while, I have been imagining all of humanity drifting in the same boat, in a dimension towards infinity. With broken compasses, they are lost and searching for a safe place. With this performance I would like to invite to ask ourselves what is good and what is evil in our universe? Jung didn’t believe you could be a good person until you realised your capacity for evil. He doesn’t mean that you actively engage in evil in the world, but rather that it is important to understand that it is possible. And also, that you can bring it under your control. There is a big difference between someone who is naive and someone who is a good person. A naive person is good because you are like a domesticated house cat; you don’t even have the capacity to be bad. So, there is no morality in that. Morality comes when you are capable of being a monster, but you choose to control it. That is Jung's encounter with the shadow. Jung says, 'The roots of the shadow go all the way down to hell.' What he means is that when you start to understand who you truly are, you can also begin to understand even people like who support genocide.
It is dedicated to the memory of refugees and captains who went down with the ship. R.I.P.
