Share this show

Masai, the show by the Dutch-Tanzanian Nienke Nillesen, tells the story of Nienke’s bond with her father, who is head of the Masai tribe, and her very, very large family. The central focus is on absence, growing up and cultural differences. Music is the glue that holds everything together in this show and illustrates the contrasts between Africa and classical arias.

"Despite the fact that I have been unable to communicate with large parts of my family, I did feel a great sense of connection through our dancing, singing and jumping."
