Once on a golden and verdant Caribbean island, a little girl is rescued from a disastrous storm by four gods鈥擜saka, Mother of the Earth; Agw茅, god of Water; Erzulie, goddess of Love; and Papa Ge, demon of Death. So starts the myth told in this breathtaking story of Black joy and sorrow, the aftermath of colonization and isolation, and the triumph of love against all forces. Told with Caribbean rhythms and instruments, this Tony Award鈥搘inning musical is a testament that a beautiful story simply told has the power to inspire and heal all.
