For the world premiere of this chamber opera for four voices and chamber orchestra, the Quebec composer of Haitian origin David Bontemps has created a world of mystical melodies, whose Afro-Haitian musical motifs blend perfectly with the librettist's text. and Haitian playwright Faubert Bolivar .

Inspired by the traditions of West African mythology and Haitian voodoo culture, this opera denounces corruption, misogyny and abuse of power.

The opera will be sung by a cast of distinguished black opera singers and brought to life with dramatic staging and lighting.
