Theater

September 24, 2014 marked a new part of Haitian history when the first staging of the The Vagina Monologues in French and Kreyol was put on by the Theatre Atelier Ecolosion. Under the leadership of Florence Jean-Louis, the event featured the talented performers giving discussions on the sexuality of women and their desires.

The event was hosted by the One Billion Rising for Revolution movement, and the audience consisted of parliament members and feminist supporters. Following the performance, a discussion on the legal reform of the domestic violence law took place.

Haiti at a pivotal point of transformation--a fitting setting for the story of Marc Anthony and Cleopatra, the star-crossed, tempestuous lovers whose affair blazed bright and hot during a time of shifting regime's within Egypt's shared history with Rome. The old story with a new look will take to the stage of Miami Beach's Colony Theatre from January 10, to February 9. The story, which culminates at the final battle of the Haitian Revolution, where Cleopatra will famously take her own life, was penned by actor and award-winning dramatist, Tarell Alvin McCraney.
