SRIBI SWITI
A dreamy hip-hop dance performance for preschoolers
In a playful dream world, two hip-hop dancers and a beatboxer take you on a nocturnal journey to the land of imagination. A pleasant world where nothing is as it seems and where your dreams become reality. Colours, sounds, and characters you only encounter in dreamland change at the same rhythm as the seasons. They come to life in this fantasy world where everything seems to float.
In Sribi Switi (Surinamese for 'sleep well'), hip-hop dance forms like popping, robotics, tutting, and waving are complemented live by sounds, samples, and music from a beatboxer. Sribi Switi is a playful performance with a universal story, inspired by both well-known Surinamese and Dutch children's stories and songs.
