As the play proceeds the actors become possessed by their characters, and eventually the ghost of Louverture joins the group and takes them on a voyage for a new kind of exile.ĭepuis les montagnes glacées du Jura en France aux centres urbains de Port-au-Prince en Haïti, Ouvertures ramène le révolutionnaire Toussaint Louverture à la vie. Ghosts from the pantheon of Haitian history visit Louverture on his deathbed and put him to trial. In France a Haitian researcher tries to read the past within the stratigraphic layers of Jurassic limestone, whilst in Haiti a group of young actors translate and rehearse scenes from Monsieur Toussaint, a play written by Édouard Glissant, that recounts the last days in the life of Louverture dying in exile in a prison cell in the Jura, 1803. Moving from the frozen landscapes of the Jura mountains to the urban centres of Port-au-Prince, Ouvertures brings the Haitian revolutionary Toussaint Louverture back to life.
