MEZRAB, Amsterdam Storytelling and Stichting Seraphim present the new musical theatre production My Brother’s Keeper, premiering at the Amsterdamse Bostheater.

Storytellers and close friends Sahand Sahebdivani and Raphael Rodan join forces once again. The theatre makers previously collaborated on their successful productions Kingdom of Fire and Clay, My Father Held a Gun (winner of the Amsterdam Fringe Gold Award in 2017), and Sons of Abraham.

Sahand and Raphael do not shy away from difficult questions in their work. In fact, they place them at the center. As a result, they explore cultural and religious clashes through family stories and oral histories.

In their brand-new work My Brother’s Keeper, these themes come together. It is built around the origin of human violence: the story of Cain and Abel. At a time of increasing polarization and international hospitality, they return to a central question: Why would a brother turn against his own flesh and blood?

Furthermore, through a blend of storytelling and music theatre, the actors retell the classic Biblical story. They move through history and recognize Cain and Abel in themselves and in each other.

Consequently, perspectives shift. The roles constantly reverse.

A production by the Seraphim Foundation.
