Djangan! | Cheroney Pelupessy & ISH Dance — Dance on Thursday

What to expect

The performance asks what it means to be a man in the KNIL and what image of masculinity is passed on.

• Three dancers in KNIL uniforms
• Roots: Javanese, Moluccan, Menadonese
• Colonial army deliberately mixed the roots
• After Indonesian independence, honours lost value
• Themes: silence, anger, fear, guilt, loss
