Herman & Samba

There are some people you meet and you think, if only I could bring them together, that would be magic. Jerron Herman and Michelle Samba are both performers ánd writers. Jerron is an acclaimed (disabled) dancer from New York, Michelle Samba is a wellknown percussionist, poet and performing artist from Friesland. Together they develop a story without words especially for Lazy Listeners.

We have had the pleasure of falling in love with the work of Michelle Samba and Jerron Herman in the last years, and knowing in our bones that their work is so rich and resonant, we wanted to see where a collaboration can go. You all are the lucky peeps that get to be here at the moment of combustion. The big bang. The first cell.

They are coming to set the stage on both days to assail our bodies and hearts and get all of us IN the festival. This performance developed as a marriage of ritual and intuition together with some bombastic skill - seriously people, if you haven’t seen them perform you are missing a piece of your heart.
