Film and music performance – 30min

In a small house somewhere in Flanders, my mother and I are sitting together at the kitchen table. We’re eating Bubur, a simple yet typically Indonesian dish. What starts as an ordinary moment unfolds into an intimate conversation full of memories. She shares stories about her childhood in Indonesia and about the generations that came before her.

These words form the heart of my work. They are a bridge between the past and the present, between here and there. By listening to her stories, I realize how important it is to pass them on. Not only to make it tangible for others but also to better understand my own Dutch-Indonesian roots.

What remains? What fades away? These questions find their form in music, performed live on stage.
