When storyteller, Inez Aponte, first began to search for her Surinamese grandmother’s lineage 20 years ago, she met a dead end. The woman whose culture she had inherited was a mere footnote in her family tree – Of Non-White Descent. Only when the Dutch slave registers were made available online in 2018 was she able to trace her ancestors back to the plantations where they were enslaved.

In her new one-woman show Un|Earthed, Inez follows a fragile thread back in time to meet the mothers, grandmothers and great grandmothers that carried her family to safety and freedom. Seamlessly combining biographical accounts with reworkings of Surinamese folklore, she creates a new map of home, rootedness and belonging.

In this magical realist landscape animals shapeshift into human form, unborn children speak from their mothers’ womb, and the wise advice of old crones offers salvation.
