An ode to the lively culture. Gery Mendes goes with the soulful TimeTravelin from then back to now and from never to forever. Gery and his eight-headed band made a performance about growing up at West-Kruiskade in Rotterdam, a place that once represented all the faces of the world. That world changes and becomes more similar. ‘Fawaka’ turns into ‘how are you’, ‘Salam Alaikum’ into ‘hello’. A musical theatre performance about collected memories, mixed with the soul we are used of this MC and singer.

Location Zuiderpark/Tent 5
Running time 70 min.
Genre Music

Gery is MC, singer, producer and actor. He published two albums named This is not an album… this is a phase (2007) en Caminho (2014).
