For The Love of Freedom Part 1, Toussaint (the soul) Rise and Revolution

TOUSSAINT (THE SOUL) RISE AND REVOLUTION
“Liberte’, Fraternite’, Egalite’” were the watch words of the French Revolution and detonators of the Haitian Revolution over 200 years ago and much of the world still, on some level, fight for those ideals. The inspiration for the Robey Theatre Company, Paul Robeson, stood and fought for these concepts. Those artists who feel responsibility to our communities stand and find our way into the breach, receiving our fair share of abuse and accolades in the struggle to deliver. Still, the majority of us take the idea of freedom for granted. Life is good when our health and loved ones thrive.

Liberty is a luxury to be cherished, protected and never taken lightly. Without it, all are diminished and reduced to an atavistic posture that becomes unendurable. Once liberty is denied, the oppressed succumb and die, or make the supreme effort to break free.

FOR THE LOVE OF FREEDOM speaks to a period when freedom and equality were not only denied a people, but also their identity was violently stripped away. TOUSSAINT is the story of fierce resistance by slaves fueled by fear, desperation, a sense of nothing left to lose, hope, and love; the absolute refusal, once freedom won, to ever be enslaved again; and, finally, the price paid for freedom.

GREENWAY Arts Alliance and the Robey Theatre Company came together as colleagues in the spirit of Fraternite’ to bring this important work to our audiences. Thank you for joining us.
