Alles is Perspectief
What happens when you grow up in an asylum seekers’ center, where you encounter the perspectives of people from half the world, from Eastern Europe to West Africa? When you grow up in a welfare family in a Brabant farming village and work your way up to the cultural elite in the big city? It gives you a hyper-diverse circle of friends: from gay to homophobe, from feminist to sexist, from anarchist to journalist, from ex-criminal to former minister, from pro-refugee to ex-refugee who became anti-refugee. Everywhere you hear hard truths for which there is no space in the mainstream media.
In Alles is Perspectief, Saman takes the audience through the sore points that divide the Netherlands today: fascism, racism, inequality, homophobia, LGBTQIA+ rights, the excesses of woke culture, and the role of the media in this polarization.

Saman, however, does not do this from behind a safe wall of opinions: he digs, investigates, talks to the people around him, and steps into the skin of the other – no matter how uncomfortable that may be. Not to judge, but to understand.
Alles is Perspectief is not a performance where you can simply sink into your theater seat. This is cabaret that scrapes, stings, and invites you to reconsider your position. But always with humor. Always with love. Always with the awareness that the perspective of the other – no matter how twisted it may seem – comes from a source closer than you think.
