HAITIAN TROUPE TO PERFORM DRAMA OF THEIR COUNTRY'S HISTORY AND CULTURAL CRISES

A troupe of three actors from Haiti will perform "Three Innocents and a Spirit" in Portland on April 8 and 9, weaving live music, dance, mime and puppetry together in their interpretation of Haiti's history and cultural crises. The stop in Portland by the non-profit N a Sonje Foundation is part of a nationwide tour.

This historical drama portrays the interactions in Haiti of peoples from the Americas, Africa, and Europe since before the time of Christopher Columbus.
One performance is scheduled for Sacred Heart/St. Dominic Church Hall at the corner of Mellen and Sherman Streets in Portland, Saturday, April 8 at 5:30 p.m. The second is at Allen Avenue Unitarian Universalist Church, 524 Allen Avenue in Portland, on Sunday, April 9 at 1:30 p.m.

There is no admission charge. Donations will be welcome to support the building of Memory Village, an interactive museum in Haiti, which will celebrate the Haitian people's history and culture.
