More than Bauxite is an important and poignant theater work that sheds light on untold war stories. Emma Lesuis inherited a wealth of archival material from Suriname, including film footage from the 1940s and 1950s. This prompted her to investigate what happened in Suriname during World War II. It is often said that there was no war in the former colony, but what actually occurred there at that time? Emma visited locations where thrilling stories came to life and spoke with people who still had memories of that - for many - good old time. The result of her research is crafted into an intimate and cinematic theater performance at the intersection of music theater, documentary, and storytelling. More than Bauxite was one of the hits of Oerol 2024. The 17 performances sold out within 24 hours and were received with great enthusiasm by the audience.
