Connected by their Former Dutch East Indies and Moluccan roots, but different in how they express themselves, the performers in But First, We are Going to Eat reflect on their experiences as a minority in the Netherlands. Both fragmented and united, they overcome the silence to create a new understanding with each other and their audience.

Theaterfestival Boulevard is based in the Netherlands and is a partner in the project Performing Gender - Dancing in your shoes. This project focuses on connecting dance to intersecting identities, working with dancers and local communities from eight different European countries. Read more about the project.
