CREATE4: The Hereditary

In THE HEREDITARY, hip-hop dancers Ibrah Silas, Angel Gonzalez Felix and Joao Balde Arias explore the deep-rooted subject of toxic masculinity, which is passed on from generation to generation. The older they get, the more they are troubled by the absence of their fathers. THE HEREDITARY is a physical conversation in which they share their memories and learn from their differences and similarities. Ibrah Silas Jackson (2000) is a director and choreographer from Rotterdam. His foundation in creating lies in hiphop culture, but he also gained more knowledge about different movement disciplines such as contemporary, funk styles and african cultural styles.
