Midnight Haitian Gede Ceremony in Iranian Hall

by Cassandra Clarke

Firelight flickers across the back of a figure wearing a black top hat and a white skull mask, the stark white paint catching the warm glow against the dark suit. The setting is a large ceremonial hall with high arches and intricate tilework in blues and creams, distinct from the Caribbean origins of the costume. Early winter air hangs heavy, visible as low-hanging clouds or fog drifting near the floor, softening the sharp lines of the stone pillars. Shadows stretch long across the polished floor as the firelight dances, illuminating dust motes suspended in the air. The figure stands still, facing away, creating a silhouette against the glowing embers and the deep shadows of the room. A final ember sparks upward from the low brazier, casting a brief orange flare on the tiled floor.
