About the Project
“Louverture” follows the hero’s journey of Toussaint Louverture and the events of the Haitian Revolution but three fateful gunshots serve as the catalyst for a riveting plot twist in this reimagining of Haiti’s epic rise to independence and what emerges is a new work rich with Afro-Haitian culture and themes of duty, rebellion, legacy, and courage at the peak of French Colonialism on the island nation of Saint Domingue (now Haiti).Encompassing elements of Afro-Mythology, Haitian folkloric Dance, and West African drum music, Louverture shifts the focus from usual heroes to unlikely but formidable ones.
