Matjet Zwaans: Totomboti at Oreol Festival

We are excited to share that our fellow Marjet Zwaans is participating in Oerol Terschelling festival with Totomboti collective.


Liederen Verankeren is an event at the intersection of visual art and performance. During Oerol, the artists from Totomboti provide a nine-day insight into the magical powers and the spirited world of their courageous African ancestors. Traditional Saramaccan songs and drumming are interspersed with Dutch translations and inspired storytelling. This marks the first time the Saramaccans are actively presenting these spiritual songs and visuals to the public.


This expedition consists of two parts: a visual art installation, which can be visited daily from 8 to 16 June between 11:00 and 17:00. Additionally, from 8 to 16 June at 14:00, you can join a daily changing live presentation of songs and stories.
