Abstract:
In any consideration of theatre in the French Caribbean, the name Césaire is bound to be mentioned. Aimé Césaire's La Tragédie du roi Christophe (1963) is the most widely- known play in French by a black dramatist, and is now even in the repertoire of the Comédie-Française, and his plays figure widely in checklists of ‘African’ theatre. A revealing contrast can be made between the epic dramas of Aimé Césaire, written for an international audience, especially the newly independent black nations of the 1960s, and the work of his daughter, Ina. He tackles from the standpoint of Négritude major themes of historical drama: the nature of sovereignty, the forging of nationhood; he storms the heights of tragic poetry in French. She is attentive, not to the lonely hero constructing his Haitian Citadel of rock, but to the Creole voices of the grassroots. She brings to the stage the lives of ordinary women, the lore and legends that sustained the slaves and their descendants. Her achievement should of course be assessed away from her father's shadow, but the ‘divergent orientation of the two generations’ also suggests the greater confidence today in the role of Creole language and oral literature, and in a serious theatre within Martinique.

Abstract:
La literatura haitiana contemporánea ofrece una visión interior de una muy dinámica cultura, que requiere de una constante elaboración estética capaz que ofrecer líneas de sentido que permite un acercamiento a su complejidad. Este trabajo analiza la novela del escritor haitiano Lyonel Trouillot Bicentenaire (2004). Se trata de un autor que ha desarrollado toda su amplia trayectoria literaria, aún en crecimiento, dentro del país, lo cual no es un dato menor dado hay colegas de Haití que, por residir en el extranjero, han tenido el beneficio de medios de mayor circulación. El texto que nos ocupa ficcionaliza la jornada de protestas que tuvieron lugar en Puerto Príncipe el 1 de enero de 2004 —fecha en la que se conmemora el bicentenario de la declaración de la independencia haitiana— contra el presidente Jean Bertrand Aristide, quien finalmente abandonó el poder unos días después. No obstante, nuestro interés consiste en examinar vínculos intertextuales de muy variado tratamiento discursivo con textos caribeños (canciones interpretadas por Bob Marley, la novela Crónica de una muerte anunciada de Gabriel García Márquez y el drama Une tempête de Aimé Césaire como una estrategia religadora que procura inscribir la problemática de la violencia en el contexto mayor de la cultura del Caribe. Esa heterogeneidad no impide constatar dinámicas comunes que el texto de Trouillot busca poner en relación a partir de las remisiones a otros textos.

This book provides a vital study of the assorted theatrical exhibits that emanated from the Haitian Revolution; case studies include refugee dramas, commencement ceremony dialogues, minstrel shows, and abolitionist speeches. Demonstrating how Americans used the theatre to understand an often incomprehensible revolution, Staging Haiti will be invaluable to theatre scholars and historians alike.

Abstract:
Abstract Chapter 2 focuses on the Haitian national quest in the 1950s to recover its African roots in the face of the elites’ centuries-old Francophilia, through the study of Félix Morisseau-Leroy’s Antigòn an Kreyòl (1953). The chapter argues that this Haitian drama rethinks the legacy of the Haitian revolution, national identity, and modernization in Haitian terms. The play was paramount in the struggle to legitimize Haitian Creole and Vodou religion as the language and culture of the African enslaved peoples who, in the playwright’s eyes, made Haiti’s independence possible. Through Antigòn’s character the play recovers the revolutionary ideals, along the lines of the most radical of revolutionary leaders: Jean-Jacques Dessalines. The play shows the deepest heterogeneity in this book’s corpus: its gods are neither Greek nor Christian but belong in the Vodou pantheon; its audience was only briefly the middle class in the capital city, before the play was taken to the peasantry across the country. The chapter explains how the play quilts a Vodou ceremony and Greek tragedy by transforming Antigòn into a Vodou goddess who, married in heaven, will give eternal life.

Abstract:
The final chapter examines the Harlem Negro Unit’s immensely popular production of Haiti. Authored by white New York journalist William Dubois, white theatre critics attempted to place Haiti within a white dramatic tradition of Black primitivism which included Emperor Jones and Orson Welles’ recent Voodoo version of Macbeth. By contrast, the Black performance community worked to transform Dubois’s racist play into a celebration of the Haitian Republic’s Black heroes. The success of Haiti helped the Black performance community push the Federal Theatre to invest in Black dramatists. On the eve of the FTP’s closure two new Black dramas were being prepared for production: Panyared, (1939) explores the origins of African slavery and was the first instalment of a historical trilogy by Hughes Allison; Theodore Browne’s Go Down Moses (1938), is a dramatization of Harriet Tubman’s life which examines Black agency in ending slavery. While neither drama made it to the stage, centering Black theatre manuscripts, and the performance communities who developed them, allows us to see how African Americans imagined radical paths to the future.

Abstract:
The critical introduction to the edition and translation of . . . . . . Et les chiens se taisaient outlines its importance as an original and until recently unknown major dramatic work by Aimé Césaire. The article opens with a brief introduction of Aimé Césaire’s life and works for unfamiliar readers. It then explores the complicated history of the text, explaining why it was unknown until recently, and how it came to be known. The article provides insights into the different stages of composition and revision of the play, and Césaire’s writing conditions in Vichy Martinique. Gil also explores the sources for his drama, Haitian and otherwise, placing the text in the twentieth-century tradition of Black revolutionary writings about Haiti. The article provides a synopsis of the text, act by act, and concludes with a preliminary analysis of two themes within the drama to aid the reader.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the forms of classicism that proliferate in the writings of the Martinican poet-politician Aimé Césaire (1913–2008), focusing in particular on his 1963 drama The Tragedy of King Christopher. The classical form of tragedy, mediated through Nietzsche, provides Césaire with a way of reconsidering the reverberations of the Haitian revolution throughout the black Atlantic as a foundational event of black identity. Césaire uses tragedy to dramatize the story of Henri Christophe, the creator of a monarchy in the northern part of Haiti in the early nineteenth century, as a way of instructing his audience on the urgent issue of black political organization in the mid-twentieth century.

Abstract:
Anja Bandau’s chapter focuses on the French reception of the Haitian Revolution in two plays staged in Directory France: Pigault-Lebrun’s Le blanc et le noir (1795) and Béraud and Rosny’s Adonis ou le bon nègre (1798). Although the works belong to different genres – bourgeois drama and melodrama – and adopt different strategies, both seek to quell the violence of the uprising, drawing on Enlightenment discourse, staging improbable scenes of forgiveness and using sentimental tropes and the family romance to reconcile black and white characters. As Bandau shows, the events in Haiti are seen through the lens of the post-Terror period, which sought to avoid at all costs the bloody excesses of the recent past.

Abstract:
This chapter surveys the history of Haitian cinema and the challenges that have prevented it from attaining the size of other national cinemas. It also discusses films related to the Haitian Revolution which were made by Haitians. These include documentaries and dramas debating the Revolution’s legacy (refracted either through the Duvalier era, the Bicentennial/Aristide era, or the 2010 earthquake), or celebrating revolutionary heroes from Toussaint Louverture to Catherine Flon. Though these films are less well-known than foreign films on the Revolution, they offer some of the best cinematic treatments of this event. The directors treated include Haiti’s most prominent filmmakers (Arnold Antonin and Raoul Peck), as well as diaspora filmmakers from Miami to Canada. The chapter also analyzes collaborations involving Haitian intellectuals working with French, Cuban, or North American directors. Haitians involved in such collaborations include Wyclef Jean, Lyonel Trouillot, Frantz Voltaire, Ralph Maingrette, and Dany Laferrière.
