Expat Cafe: Rashi Favier

What happens when a privileged woman suddenly becomes “a person of colour”? After five sold-out shows, Rashi brings her debut solo to Rotterdam for the first time, where she takes you on a witty, funny, emotional and deeply personal journey of immigration, identity, and privilege. Through a blend of comedy and storytelling, she explores her first brush with racism in a country that prides itself on tolerance, while reflecting on the irony of battling sexism in India while having the comfort and invisibility that comes from being the oppressor. Whether you’ve lived this experience, never thought about it, or are somewhere in between, this is for anyone curious about what it feels like to become a person of colour… overnight. The show is in English.

You may know Rashi, the tallest Indian in the Netherlands, from her viral videos on everything Dutch culture, along with tackling important social issues like feminism, ethical fashion, white privilege, and colonialism. Hailing from South India, she has become more Dutch than she would have liked, living here for 6 years, but still won’t shy away from pointing out that ‘broodje kaas’ is not ‘lunch’.

Everyone is welcome! This event is open to all ages, nationalities, and backgrounds. Come join the fun and take on the challenge!
