Un|Earthed – Of Mothers, Grandmothers & Freedom
Colonial history has wiped many stories off the map.
In this one-woman show, Inez Aponte follows a fragile thread back in time to meet the mothers, grandmothers and great grandmothers that carried her family to safety and freedom. Mixing tales from Surinam’s oral tradition with family history, she explores themes of home, rootedness and belonging.
Meet an old crone, shape-shifting animals, brave friends and magical babies who speak from their mother’s womb. This is a show about finding your name and keeping your name. It is about people enslaved for gold and freed by gold. It is about being Un|Earthed. Book your tickets here.
