LES GENS BLESS(ÉS)

In the organizer's words:

A journey through the challenges of growing up in a country characterized by violence and unrest. How do traumas shape and strengthen the spirit at the same time?

In this dynamic dance performance, Haitian traditional dances are blended with contemporary styles to honor cultural heritage while exploring its relevance to modern experiences. The focus is on the power of healing and the pursuit of a more hopeful future.
