Paramaribo Dreams
Step into the world of Paramaribo Dreams, an intimate family performance by Carl Refos (10+) about leaving behind the familiar and discovering new possibilities. In an energetic mix of dance, spoken word, and percussion, Carl takes you on his personal journey from Suriname to the Netherlands and from childhood to adulthood.
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.
