Ti Jean and His Brothers by Derek Walcott
This fable set in a forest tells the story of three brothers, their individual weaknesses, and their quest to beat the Devil at his own games. Including music and dance, this fable draws on themes of pride versus humility, faith, colonialism, and capitalism. Featuring traditional characters like Papa Bois and the Bolom and a host of animal narrators, this work is a testament to how Caribbean people consolidate a painful history through the arts as Walcott threads tones of colonialism through a story of adventure. Directed by alumna abigail jean-baptiste '18 and featuring Aleena Brown '25. Free tickets required.
