Inspired by Agosto Boal’s method of Forum Theater the Ugandan family is exploring different solutions in order to give advice to the Netherlands.
The project is in collaboration with Pieter van Dijken and Frank Elsdijk. Special thanks to the Nuwamanya Family and the workshop participants in the Netherlands and Uganda.
'But was Narcissus beautiful?' said the pool.
'Who should know that better than you?' answered the Oreads. 'Us did he ever pass by, but you he sought for, and would lie on your banks and look down at you, and in the mirror of your waters he would mirror his own beauty.'
And the pool answered, 'But I loved Narcissus because, as he lay on my banks and looked down at me, in the mirror of his eyes I saw ever my own beauty mirrored.'
