TA(M)BU

Junadry Leocaria is a striking talent in the Dutch Performing Arts scene and makes her Julidans debut. Her professional dance career started at the age of 18 with ISH Dance Collective. Junadry specialises in waacking - an expressive form of street dance, set to disco music from the 1970s, which plays with characters and emotions. Junadry has choreographed for Festival Classique, ITA, Holland Dance Festival and Korzo, among others. With her expressive and powerful movement language, she knew how to touch the audience every time.

With the solo Ta(m)bu Junadry honours her ancestors by going back to her roots and sharing the beauty of her cultural heritage in her own way.

-|-Junadry began to better understand the importance of the hidden cultural history of Curaçao, her own history. In recent years, she has created several expressive works that leave no one untouched. Junadry's ancestors have blessed her with her musicality, creativity, strength, and above all her ability to express herself through dance. The dancing, singing and playing of tambú was once forbidden, a taboo. With the solo Ta(m)bu, Junadry honours her ancestors by going back to her roots and sharing the beauty of her cultural heritage in her own way.
