Currently working on:

Je marche sur les traces des Marronnes, a performance led by Ivonne González to invoke the Marronnes*, the forgotten women of history, rooted in resistance and the desire for freedom. Through storytelling, song, music and ritual, the performance revisits the struggles waged from North to South America by powerful, inspiring and revolutionary black women. A performance to bring them to the surface of our skins, to inspire us, so that we don't forget them.
