Mother Sea

Djennie Laguerre, English Premiere

—

The theatrical play "Mother Sea" by Djennie Laguerre tells the story of Marjolaine, a Haitian Canadian storyteller, who embarks on a journey of self-discovery, cultural reconnection, and healing. The narrative is deeply rooted in Afro-Haitian mythology and traditions, blending storytelling, music, and dance to explore themes of identity, family, and heritage. The play begins with Marjolaine recounting her childhood, where she had visions of the future that her mother discouraged, fearing they would tie her to a life of mysticism and hardship. Prompting a mysterious sickness that only Manman La mè, her grandmother, can cure.
