During Srefidensi, we celebrate the stories of the past with Bondru Dey, through history and cultural heritage. With a special afternoon programme revolving around all the 'tori's' (stories) of the past, it promises to be nothing less than a pleasant day with snacks, stories, music, comedy and more!

Bondru means bringing together. On this special Srefidensi-dag, we bring young and old together around stories, history, and cultural heritage.

The focus is on tori (stories), inspired by the Surinamese odo: ‘Tori owru, ma a no buku’. An old story does not spoil. Stories remain valuable, precisely because they are passed on from generation to generation.

During Srefidensi, we share stories about freedom, independence, family, migration, and culture. Stories that connect, inspire, and keep memories alive. A day full of personal encounters, music, art, an exhibition, historical footage, children's activities, language, food, and getting together.

Open to everyone | from 6:00 PM

Bondru Social, a social gathering moment for young adults and the general public, takes place from 6:00 PM in the hall. The focus is on music, short Tori-films, an exhibition, a story wall, and Surinamese snacks and drinks.

Evening programme | 7:15 PM - 8:15 PM

The evening programme opens with comedian, theatre maker, and artist Onias Landveld and his performance Papa zonder handleiding. With stories that touch, surprise, and connect, he takes the audience on a personal and relatable journey full of humour, reflection, and emotion.

Musical finale | 8:15 PM - 10:00 PM

We will festively conclude Bondru Dey with Tori nanga Poku, an evening full of stories, music, and encounters. Led by Baas Berg, the day ends in an energetic and connecting musical finale.

Sing along, share memories, meet each other, and celebrate the power of our stories together. Sitting still is not an option!
