Watch the new play "The resistance Dance"
In Amalyashi festival - Leiden
Saturday 26 October
Sunday 27 October
Resistance is a human right, just like the right to speak and the right to eat and live.
Especially when one of our other rights is taken away from us, then resistance is a must. Resistance is measured in years, how much time you can spend struggling.
Resistance is not only defining your country, but also defining your rights, your dignity and your existence.
The resistance dance is a short musical, which embodies resistance in different countries and cultures.
