Deblozay

Shadows dance at crossroads, and we feel their presence behind the walls, we hear laughter on the street corner. Slowly they invade the streets with the rhythm of their drums and the intoxicating melodies of the horns and transport us to the other side.

Deblozay (‘chaos’ in Haitian Creole) is a journey through the memory of the city and its inhabitants. The Gédés, mysterious ghosts, open the doors to our memories. The dead return and remind us of our buried pasts…

A hybrid theatrical project, Deblozay invites us to rediscover forgotten places and sheds light on what remains invisible, in a dreamlike break from everyday life.

Rara Woulib takes us on an epic journey to an unknown destination in the deep of the night, “letting us embrace both worlds”.

“Deblozay isn’t really a show you watch, per se. Instead, it’s something you’re part of. You experience it from within, as part of a crowd, processing through the streets. It’s composed out of pace and rhythm, out of space and proximity. Of people and power. Of people power.”
Matt Trueman (The Guardian) – June 2014
