\u2018Ayiti B\u00e8l Nanm\u2019 brings together a celebrated cast of singers, actors and dancers in a showcase of Haitian creativity, history and cultural heritage.<\/p>\n
Production BELAYITI<\/p>\n
A musical celebrating Haiti\u2019s rich culture and artistry will take the stage Saturday at the Adrienne Arsht Center\u2019s Ziff Ballet Opera House in Miami, where a cast of well-known Haitian performers will present the all-Haitian production \u201cAyiti B\u00e8l Nanm.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n The production brings together a celebrated cast of singers, actors and dancers in a showcase of Haitian creativity, history and cultural heritage. Among the performers are Haitian American actor Jimmy Jean-Louis, Miami activist and singer Farah Juste and Haiti-based performer Errol Josu\u00e9.<\/p>\n Juste has been cast as a divinity who explains the events unfolding in Haiti. Speaking to the Miami Herald between rehearsals, she described the production and its cast as \u201cimpressive.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m very impressed by the role that they gave me,\u201d said Juste, who sings, dances and acts in the musical. \u201cI\u2019m very happy with all the actors who are trying their best to make this show a success.\u201d<\/p>\n South Florida\u2019s Haitian community, she said, can really use a show like this now. More than addressing Haiti\u2019s deepening struggles, the musical offers a message of hope, said Juste.<\/p>\n \u201cAyiti B\u00e8l Nanm\u201d is the work of Production B\u00e8lAyiti, founded by cultural advocate Carole Demesmin, and the show is open to all ages. The performance comes as South Florida\u2019s Haitian community continues to grapple with uncertainty surrounding after the loss of temporary immigration protections for more than 300,000 Haitians across the United States.<\/p>\n Juste said she\u2019s unsure how recent events will affect attendance, but she\u2019s hoping audiences still turn out in large numbers.<\/p>\n \u201cI hope we have a full house,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Organizers said the show is intended to offer a different view of Haiti, and to allow the country, through its artists, to tell her own story.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is not simply a show about Haiti. It is an invitation to see the country in fuller dimension: as a culture of extraordinary creative power, carried across generations and continually renewed,\u201d the organizers said.<\/p>\n In an interview with Port-au-Prince-based radio station Magik 9, Florence Jean-Louis Dupuy, an actor, director and longtime force in Haiti\u2019s theater scene, acknowledged the challenges facing Haitians at home and abroad.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are going through very difficult times that undermine our pride, dignity and honor; we are being terrorized and pursued almost everywhere in the world,\u201d said Dupuy.<\/p>\n She said the musical was also an opportunity to present Haitians with a different image of themselves \u2014 one grounded in creativity, beauty and artistic excellence.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it is very important that we present Haitians with a beautiful image of ourselves and, at the same time, show that we can meet international standards and even surpass them through the originality of this creation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n If You Go:<\/p>\n What: Ayiti B\u00e8l Nanm<\/p>\n When: 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug, 15<\/p>\n Where: Adrienne Arsht Center\u2019s Ziff Ballet Opera House, 1300 Biscayne Blvd, Miami<\/p>\n Cost: $117.00 – $246.00 at www.arshtcenter.org<\/a><\/p>\n
