Haiti - Culture : «Le cercueil» a street theater not to be missed





The Theatre of Haiti Intervention Brigade (BITH), a street theater company, will present Thursday, September 3 at 4:00 pm on the forecourt of the Knowledge and Freedom Foundation (FOKAL), 143, avenue Christophe, the play "Le cercueil" (The coffin) based on a staging of the "Théâtre de l'Unité".



The summary of the play is very simple, "You are not deceased and to be less anxious about death, you will try your coffin and live your own funeral! A handful of minutes later, your temporary death certificate will be awarded. Songs, dances and mourners will make you enjoy an unusual moment of trance."



A performance not to be missed !
