    PERFORMANCE TRY OUT WORK IN PROGRESS

“Why is it that I feel most at home in a car? Always in motion. Not daring to stand still.”

In her quest to “really” belong somewhere, Sarah Janneh always felt stuck between two extremes: Black and white. Brabant and Sierra Leone. Singer and actress. Loud and quiet. Full of life and afraid to die. Happy and grieving.

With her solo show Brabo Leone, she embraces the richness of these dualities rather than choosing one. Through musical storytelling, reflection, resilience and redefining how different phases of her life have affected her, NITE ensemble member Sarah Janneh creates a musical narrative from diverse influences in an effort to provide a more fluid and inclusive view of what it means to be at home. Her quest to find and redefine what truly belongs somewhere takes her from the carnival in Brabant to the suburbs of Johannesburg and ultimately to her father’s home in Sierra Leone.

Expect a typical NITE production; hyper musical, close and urgent. In which each song feels like a letter from another chapter in life. The music evokes feelings of warmth, loss, growth and change. Brabo Leone is a sincere tribute to the quest to belong somewhere. A co-production with MusicalMakers and Theater Utrecht.

In season 2023 – 2024, Sarah Janneh toured material in more than 30 theaters in the Netherlands as supporting act for Club Guy & Roni Invites under the name Soul Nerve. The experience gained in that tour has been the basis of the further development of Brabo Leone.

Fall Failing

“Fall Failing” is an immersive, week-long workshop for emerging performing arts professionals. This year, it brought together the two Junior Companies—Club Guy & Roni’s Poetic Disasters Club and the NITE Riders—along with students from the NAIP program at the Prince Claus Conservatory.

Over five days, they collaborated on performative interventions inspired by the Jonge Harten Festival’s theme, “Playing Around.” Audiences can experience these unique performances on November 15th and 16th, showcased between the scheduled shows of Marleen Hendrickx, MAAS Theater and Sarah Janneh’s BRABO LEONE.

JONGE HARTEN VIEWING GUIDE

Jonge Harten offers a diverse program. But where do you start choosing? To clarify things somewhat, we have three main storylines that we are focusing on this year. You can see these lines throughout our program. So that you can easily choose which line suits you best and what you feel like doing at the moment. What are you going for?

DEEPENING

FIELD

FIELD was created to strengthen the bond with young talent and to give both the artists and the festival the opportunity to support people in the longer term and to make their “dreams” come true. We focus in particular on students who we feel (after conversations and performances) connect themselves as creators with the world beyond. In a conscious, critical and idiosyncratic way.

A program line in which we put creative young people on stage and in which you can participate in great masterclasses yourself. We ensure that you are pampered all day long and of course we close the day with a great party, by none other than Clash!

WORKSHOP

Kom je er toch nog niet helemaal uit? Geen nood: stuur een mailtje naar info@jongeharten.nl en vraag om nadere toelichting. Vermeld de titel van de voorstelling en waar je graag meer duidelijkheid over wilt hebben (is dit iets om met mijn vriend/vriendin naartoe te gaan? het is misschien wel grappig maar toch niet vulgair? dat soort vragen). De programmeurs van het festival geven je dan persoonlijk het verlossende antwoord!
