Paramaribo Dreams

Paramaribo

At the age of ten, Carl boards a plane in Paramaribo with his parents and brothers, filled with fantasies about the unknown Netherlands. There, he builds a new life and discovers his greatest passion: dance. As he masters spectacular moves, he not only grows as a dancer, but also learns to overcome his fears. Paramaribo Dreams is an adventurous performance for all ages about the power of believing in yourself.
