X_YUSUF_BOSS presents:
Hidden
During HIDDEN, X_Yusuf_Boss discovers the hidden talents of Leeuwarden. With different types of creators; hip-hop dancers, musicians and spoken word artists, a varied show is created in a short period of time. The show puts young people in the spotlight who do not naturally play the big stage of De Harmonie. All this takes place in a totally transformed venue, where the street is brought into the theater for a South African "Braai," a place where the community comes together to drink and dance.
About X_Yusuf_BOSS
X_Yusuf_BOSS is the house and platform surrounding the Groningen-based choreographer Mohamed Yusuf Boss. Starting from dance, we build bridges between art disciplines as well as between communities and individuals. The search for shared humanity forms the core of their practices. Our working method is based on the hip-hop principle each one teach one, in which everyone who contributes to the collective learns from each other and from the project.

Our working method is based on the hip-hop principle each one teach one, in which everyone who contributes to the collective learns from each other and from the project.
We’re departing from the African philosophy ‘Ubuntu’ and hip-hop principle ‘Each One Teach One’. Ubuntu is all about humanity and compassion: a person is a person, through other people. Verything we learn and experience comes from our relations with others. Within Each One Teach One everyone’s contribution to the collective, learning from each other and the activities taking place, is central. These two approaches are combined within X_Yusuf_BOSS: share and exchange with attention for the other and building an organization, activities and community together.
