In dreamland, fantasy is given free rein. Sleep can lead to beautiful stories. Take a night trip with Sribi Switi to the land of the imagination, where figures turn into characters you can only dream of.

Two hip-hop dancers and a beatboxer take you on a night trip. By means of hip-hop dance styles such as popping, waving, tutting and robotics, the dancers in this performance create a new world of illusion. Nothing is what it seems, but everything is beautiful and pleasing. Colors, sound and characters change to the same rhythm as the seasons and come to life in a fantasy world where everything seems to float.

Sribi Switi (Surinamese for 'sleep well') is an adaptation of the successful French children's show A Deux Mains.

About Lloydscompany

Under the banner of Lloydscompany, dancers/upcoming urban makers and the underground battle scene come together. The company produces performances, thus building a bridge between the street and stage. Founder Lloyd Marengo grew up in the Rotterdam raw era of the 1980s, learning dance in the streets. In the 1990s, his hangout in Rotterdam West became the epic center of hip-hop. Lloyd caused a furore with 010 B-boys who achieved worldwide success and put Rotterdam hip hop and street culture on the map. Lloyd is one of the founders of the Hiphophuis, he has worked with Scapino and Conny Janssen Danst, among others, and his work has been shown during the Nederlandse Dansdagen and in Koninklijk Theater Carré (Amsterdam).
