Martin Fondse and spoken word artist Femi Dawkins present parts of their controversial performance Wildcard, together with double bassist Eric van der Westen and percussionist Dirk-Peter Kölsch. In their performance, the joker symbolizes the freedom and flexibility of the artist: a card that you can use at unexpected moments. The court jester can tell the truth without any embellishment. It inspires Fondse and Dawkins to seek ultimate freedom in their performance. In their music, they cross multiple genres. Femi Dawkins grew up in the Caribbean and moved to New York and the Netherlands. Societies where racism and colonialism are interwoven with the culture. Dawkins does not mince his words. He shows how absurd some of the rigid ideas that underpin our society are and counters them with radical love and radical hope. A performance that is both poetic and confrontational.
