Helstone groeide op op plantage Berg en Dal en werd dankzij Duitse zendelingen opgeleid aan het conservatorium in Leipzig. Zijn muziek beweegt zich tussen twee werelden: de Europese klassieke traditie en Surinaamse verhalen, ritmes en mythologie.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In deze muzikale en theatrale vertelling onderzoekt Wijdeven hoe koloniale geschiedenis, culturele identiteit en artistieke invloed samenkomen in Helstones werk.
