Formed in Port-au-Prince in 2017, the Living and the Dead Ensemble comprises 10 artists, performers and poets from Haiti, France and the United Kingdom who collaboratively create narratives interweaving Haiti’s present with its mythical, colourful and often forgotten histories. Initiated during a creative residency at Les Ateliers Médicis in Clichy-Montfermeil in 2019, the project revolves around the charged atmosphere of a night, filled with demonstrations, earthquakes and the fire of struggle and pain, rebirth and chaos. Amid these flames, a community dreams of flight, travel and alliances among diasporas, invoking the restlessness that haunts our electronic realms. The Wake presents a chaotic world and those who make their voices heard.
