In deze indrukwekkende dansvoorstelling laten jonge vrouwen uit Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, zien hoe zij strijden tegen genderongelijkheid en opkomen voor gelijke rechten. Door te dansen claimen ze hun eigen ruimte<\/strong>: hun strijd wordt zichtbaar, invoelbaar en tegelijk een middel tot emancipatie. Naast het maken van deze prachtige dansvoorstellingen verdienen ze namelijk bovendien hun eigen inkomen.
