Lusu presents BRADA in co-production with Well Made Productions
PREMIERED 2024, RETAKE 2025
BRADA is a multidisciplinary performance that looks at the consequences of centuries of oppression and the personal stories of Surinamese people who strive for freedom. With humor, nostalgic visuals, combative music, poetic dance and intense confrontations, the performance unfolds as a love letter to the older generation. The performance reveals the heroes, the villains, and the forgotten freedom fighters who fought for their ancestors, family, and children.
BRADA premiered in 2024, followed by a short tour of various theaters in the Netherlands. The performance was received with such enthusiasm that a revival was inevitable. And it’s no coincidence that this is planned during Suriname’s 50th anniversary of independence (Srefidensi).
