Three Innocents and a Spirit

One of the Aspects that keeps me coming back to volunteering @ WMPG is certainly great music, people and often surprises like this troupe of Haitian performers who came on the French speaking show after mine.
Three Innocents and a Spirit is a historical drama using mime, musical soundtrack and historical texts in English. The three performers are pictured herein discussing their presentation, inviting community members and speaking about the "N a Sonje" Foundation, which proceeds from the show will fund their Memory Village, a living history museum in Haiti. They cover history through the eyes of Haitians, and using theater, mime, some props and sound to give a very different view of a 700 hundred year history of Haiti.
This tour is the US debut of this presentation, the first performance was in Gainesville, Florida First Performance in US

Being married to a Haitian I am very interested in their work and perspective of this culture.
Their descriptions and focus I found riveting they started this by their DOA/BN association.
