THIS EVENT HAS PASSED

Join National Black Theatre (NBT), Lincoln Center and SCENE for MYTHS: The People Who Carry The Sky, an interactive, multidisciplinary, one-night event on April 27, 2024 celebrating descendants from Haiti, telling a new story of their beloved country. The evening’s event is curated by National Black Theatre’s Artist-in-Residence, Fedna Jacquet, and is presented by NBT’s Alternative Learning and Social Impact department, with original commissions and contributions from France-Luce Benson, Julio Jean, Qween Jean, Val Jeanty, Lenelle Moïse, Dominique Morisseau and Atibon Nazaire. These newly commissioned works traverse music, poetry, dance, and fashion using Haitian mythology and folklore. MYTHS untangles Haiti's story from the Western gaze and uplifts a new narrative that centers on its people's liberation.

Join us at the Atrium to celebrate the resilient spirit of Haitian artists, people, and culture. It is time to embrace a new narrative shaped by the perceptions of its people, guiding us to understand and demystify Haiti's rich heritage at this critical moment.

This event is produced by National Black Theatre, SCENE, and Lincoln Center in anticipation of the Metropolitan Opera’s revival of Orfeo ed Euridice.
