This musical theater production is designed for young audiences aged 10 to 14 and explores themes such as remigration, nostalgia, intangible cultural heritage, family bonds, and the changing spirit of community that has been evolving in our society for decades. The play is based on true stories from the childhood of author Loekie Morales. In her collection Rumannan Purunchi \u2013 Saga of a Tropical Nest \u2013 she shares the family heritage of the Moral siblings. <\/p>\n
Milushka Birge, playwright and director of the piece, drew inspiration from this heritage to create a new story that speaks to young people about community spirit, strength, helplessness, and more. The story is told through the perspective of a fictional character, Natasha, who lives in the Netherlands and travels to Cura\u00e7ao. She is the daughter of one of the Moral sisters. In Cura\u00e7ao, Natasha is confronted with a wave of economic development that threatens to deeply impact her family\u2019s heritage. She urges everyone to return home to protect what belongs to them. \u201cHurry, we don\u2019t have time to lose.\u201d <\/p>\n
Will the Purunchi siblings listen to Natasha? Will they pack their bags and return? <\/p>\n
With an extensive background in theater on Cura\u00e7ao, Birge wrote and directed this piece. She is also well known in local schools for her earlier works Mancha di Zeta (a puppet theater) and Aminata, which explores the theme of emancipation. In Rumannan Purunchi, Milushka Birge demonstrates her skill by guiding actors through a variety of roles and giving them the space to showcase their range of talents. Both seasoned performers and younger talents shine in this production. Together with musician, composer, and artist Eric Calmes, they have created new pieces to delight the eyes, ears, and hearts of children, teens, and adults alike. <\/p>\n
Rumannan Purunchi was made possible thanks to the financial support of Het Fonds Podiumkunsten, Vriendenloterij Fonds, and Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds Caribisch Gebied.<\/strong><\/p>\n
