In a room in Port-au-Prince, by the light of a candle, a couple trembles, loves, cries, remembers, and tears itself apart to the rhythm of a city gripped by violence. Zily wants to leave with Ferah, but he, who works at the city hospital, cannot bring himself to abandon his island. How can one love in a city that is collapsing? How can one love their city while being forced to consider fleeing it?
Winner of the 2022 RFI Théâtre Prize, the play by Haitian author Gaëlle Bien-Aimé is at once poetic, sensual, funny, serious, and deeply delicate. Partly autobiographical, it lets us hear the murmurs of the city, the rustling of the room, the echoes of Creole, and the essence of love itself. A true ode to Port-au-Prince.
