"This is 'intercultural wrestling'", says John Kayongo in perfect Dutch. Ugandan-born Kayongo teaches at the HKU, and leads the group that visits his native country. "Here we see a mix of two different worlds. In Uganda the actors generally come up with a story line, then divide the roles to the actors and they can start performing after that. In The Netherlands we are a lot more used to think thematic. On the other hand, we use more symbols. In Holland it is normal to act an abstract thing like a sperm, while here that is considered very strange."
