Haiti: a Story of Love and Resistance October 19, 2012

October 19 & 20, 7 pm start time each night

Afoutayi Productions and MCCLA present an original performance that explores the secret power of Haitian history through story and a spectacular display of Haitian traditional dance, music and percussion. "Ayiti: a Story of Love and Resistance" is the story of Hassen, a Haitian immigrant boy living in San Francisco.

Hassen's future is indelibly altered when his grandmothers' stories lead him on a magical journey in which he meets the super heroes of Haitian history and he learns of the love and resistance that have guided the people of his homeland.

"Haiti: a Story of Love and Resistance" features a stunning cast of Haitian traditional dancers including Fabienne Denis, "Fofo" Pierre, and many others. Art direction is guided by Bay Area artist/ activist David Solnit. This performance is funded in part through the generous support of the Alliance for California Traditional Arts (ACTA).

Two shows:
Friday October 19, 7:00 pm
Saturday October 20, 7:00 pm
