Louis Henderson: Overtures

21 Apr-10 Jun 2018

Overview

The film will chart the progress of Henderson, alongside producer Olivier Marboeuf, devising a performance for the forthcoming Ghetto Biennial with a collective of eight young Haitian actors, poets and slammers. Taking as a point of departure the play Monsieur Toussaint by Édouard Glissant, Overtures explores the complexities of both translation (from French to Créole) and fiction when looking at Haitian history.
