Dance theater, Physical theater

IN SHORT: with powerful, fluid and explosive hip-hop dance, Until The Quiet Comes takes you into the world of young men of colour. In this world, the expectations of society, friends and family constantly clash with the search for one’s own identity.
In this new production, Ibrah Silas Jackson, together with the dancers of Create4, creates an intense and compelling journey through the past, present and future. From choices already made, through the moment when you learn to be yourself, to a future full of dreams, pressures and possibilities.
Until The Quiet Comes is a physical, honest and moving performance about identity, resilience and the silence that arises when you finally dare to follow your own voice.
A short version of Until The Quiet Comes premiered in 2024 at Oude Luxor during Breakin’ Convention NL. At Maaspodium, Ibrah, together with Create4, will present the full-length version for the first time
