A search for the memory and legacy of performer and co-director Mathieu Wijdeven's great-great-grandfather: Surinamese artist G.G.T. Rustwijk (1862-1914), who went by the alias Luci. Rustwijk navigated post-slavery Suriname as a playwright and performer, a multidisciplinary artist, as a man of colour, and as an early critic of the Dutch colonial regime – before ultimately being forgotten. Using historical locations, site-specific performances, interviews and reimagined archive materials, the film searches for Rustwijk's "light", and what remains of it in modern-day Suriname.Read moreLess
