“Eerst was er Thuis” op boot Rederij Lampedusa
Afgelopen zondag traden wij op tijdens het evenement “Rederij Lampedusa in Deft”, op de voormalige Egyptische vluchtelingenboot Mijnheer Vrijdag. Een intense ervaring, samen met het publiek, waar we nog vol van zijn. Veel dank aan Martine Bitter, Lucia Hazenberg (Expositieruimte 38CC) voor het organiseren van het bijzondere festival!
Last Sunday we were performing at this special location, a former refugee boat of Rederij Lampedusa. It was intense and touching. And we really felt that all the people around us – young and old, with homes nearby or far away – were with us were while we were playing and telling our story.
About the boat: this Egyptian boat called Alhadj Djumaa. “Alhadj” means “the old wise man who has been on a pilgrimage”, “Djumaa” means “Friday”, so ‘Mister Friday’ (Mijnheer Vrijdag). This boat once carried 282 people to Europe who had to leave their (unsafe) homecountry. The boat has been transported from Lampedusa to the Netherlands. info http://www.rederijlampedusa.nl
