15-Sep-2023
Created by composer and Creative Associate Nathalie Joachim, this performance weaves together vocal samples, somber flute tones, and longing melodies that take listeners on a journey of discovery and defining of self. Made in collaboration with director and choreographer Chanel DaSilva, this intimately staged song cycle examines the richness of one’s voice in the vibrant tapestry of sounds.
Performed in both English and Haitian Kreyòl, "Ki moun ou ye" invites listeners into an exploration of personal history, drawing on the voice’s historic and ongoing role as a tool for survival, healing, preservation of self, fellowship, and an affirmation of freedom.
Composer, Performer, and Creative Director: Nathalie Joachim
Director and Choreographer: Chanel DaSilva
