Haitian Modern Folkloric Dance Performance Vwayaj

Jean Appolon Expressions dance company presents Vwayaj (The Travel), its latest portrayal of the immigrant experience. The Choreographer Jean Appolon has woven his personal story together with those of other Boston-area immigrants into this beautiful production. Dancers will tell these stories through bold Haitian contemporary dance set to evocative music composed Haitian Electronic music artist Val Jeanty. At the heart of Vwayaj is an inquiry into some of the most basic questions of the human experience: Where is home? What do we sacrifice when we leave home? What are we seeking on the other side? How do we create support within community?
