Haitian Puppeteer Stage Edge Monsoon in on a festival main stage in Port-au-Prince

Haitian Puppeteer Stage Edge Monsoon

by Christy Owens

Deep indigo shadows pool across the stage floor while saturated violet and electric blue lights cut through the predawn darkness. A puppeteer stands at the right edge of the frame, their silhouette defined against a heavy black curtain that hangs vertically. Droplets of moisture glisten on the rough fabric of the curtain and the performer's damp clothing, evidence of the recent monsoon rain. The light reflects off wet skin and the glossy surface of a puppet handle held in a raised hand. Behind the figure, the darkness of the stage wings merges with the humid air, creating a dense, charged space. One bead of water rolls down the black curtain hem, tracing a path through the dust and fabric folds.
