Unfurling like a fiddlehead fern fond in a forest, the word \u2018creole\u2019 comes from the Greek root *\u1e31er- meaning to grow, to nourish. Celebrating the vast possibilities of translating both into and from Haitian Creole, this talk will describe how the artist group The Living and the Dead Ensemble unraveled into being by translating the play\u00a0\u00abMonsieur Toussaint\u00bb<\/em>\u00a0by \u00c9douard Glissant, from French to Haitian Creole.\u00a0I will discuss Derrida’s idea of\u00a0echo-translation\u00a0and how the Ensemble approached this method\u00a0as a means to test the limits of\u00a0Glissant’s work\u00a0within a contemporary Haitian context, turning to the\u00a0Haitian poet Frank\u00e9tienne\u00a0as\u00a0a way\u00a0forwards\u00a0through the spiraling voice of the We.<\/p>\n

I will discuss this and more with excerpts from my new feature film \u00abOuvertures\u00bb (2020), which is currently celebrating its premiere at the Berlinale. Event in English, moderated by Nina Kerschbaumer.<\/p>\n

Louis Henderson is a filmmaker who experiments with different ways of working with people to address and question our current global condition defined by racial capitalism and ever-present histories of the European colonial project. Developing an archaeological method in cinema, his films explore the sonic space of images, listening to the echoes and spirals of the stratigraphic. Since 2017, Henderson has been working within the artist group The Living and the Dead Ensemble. Based between Haiti and France, they focus on theatre, song, slam, poetry and cinema. His work is distributed by LUX, Video Data Bank and Phantom, and produced by Spectre. He lives and works in Paris.<\/p>\n

The Living and the Dead Ensemble are a group of artists, performers and poets from Haiti, France and the United Kingdom. They initially came together in Haiti 2017, to produce the Haitian Creole translation and performance of the play Monsieur Toussaint by \u00c9douard Glissant. Initiated from an original idea by Louis Henderson and Olivier Marboeuf, who have been collaborating as a director\/producer partnership since 2014, the Ensemble\u2019s first film \u201cOuvertures\u201d will be premiered in the Forum section of the Berlinale 2020. Their work explores different possible methods of telling the history of Haiti, the first independent black republic in the Americas. Navigating from the utopia of a radical and anticolonial democracy up until the catastrophic situation the country faces today, the Ensemble produce texts, performances, films and installations, that reveal the cultural richness of Haiti from within a social, political and ecological crisis. The Ensemble are: Mackenson Bijou, Rossi Jacques Casimir, Dieuvela Cherestal, James Desiris, James Fleurissaint, Louis Henderson, L\u00e9onard Jean Baptiste, Cynthia Maignan, Sophonie Maignan, Olivier Marboeuf, Mim\u00e9tik N\u00e8g.<\/p>\n
