The ship's log describes five Angolan women who chose to jump overboard rather than be enslaved, and those few sentences from the archive became the basis for this work, an ode to their resistance. It was conceived by Monique Duurvoort and Afra Jonker, with storyline, design, choreography, and direction by Monique Duurvoort and concept, including theme and subject matter, by Afra Jonker.
