Still life ‘De wereld van Louise’ by visual artist Louise te Poele, was made in front of the painting Plantation in Suriname (1707) by Dirk Valkenburg from the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
The dance theater performance Louise, Radiant Shadow 3, will create a Lived- and Embodied Experience that will make perspectives that were marginalized visible, palpable and tangible.
In Louise we acknowledge the historically silenced voices and the afterlives of colonial and slavery past in present day to create a space of acknowledgement and healing.
Louise is the third and last performance of the Radiant Shadow series, a triptych of music- & dance theatre productions. The three performances center around the necessity of delving into the Dutch colonial history and its reverberations. This production shows a shared part of our history, the dark side of Dutch prosperity.
