Sites of Memory is a theatrical boat trip about the history of colonialism and slavery in Amsterdam. After the great succes of the past three years, with sold out shows, the we are bringing a new edition within the theme Emerging Memory; what stories from history do we document or archive, by whom and from who's perspective? What do we rather forget? The audience is taken past historical sites whilst spoken word artists, dancers, musicians and visual artists bring history to the present. It's a quest for our shared cultural heritage and encounter through stories.

​
