DESCRIPTION OF PLAY
Marie-Therese immigrated to the United States carrying little recollection of who she was and why she left. With her silent mother as the only link to her past, Marie-Therese realizes that she must return to her native Haiti to understand her true identity. Along her journey, Marie-Therese encounters walls that eavesdrop on conversations, strangers who recognize her from long ago and a ritual cleansing from deep blue pools of water. She meets many characters who each hold a piece to the puzzle of who she is. Will she be able to fit the pieces together and remember what happened?
Haitian-born Kathleen Gonzales draws from her own experience and interviews with Haitians and Haitian-Americans in this intimate tapestry capturing the sights and sounds of Haiti's troubled past, as well as the rich cultural landscape of today.
A portion of the proceeds from this production will be donated to The Eyes of Haiti, a non-profit organization, teaching peace and autonomy to Haiti's lower income youth population.
Written and performed by Kathleen Gonzales
