Description
Classification
Experience the lyrical storytelling of M’ap Boulé – a play with songs about a child born of immigrants growing up in a country called Australia.
Nancy Denis shares funny and pivotal stories from her journey to embrace her Black, Queer, Haitian, and Australian identities, framed by the pain and joy she carries from her self-liberated Ancestors who revolted against their colonisers and created the first black-led republic of Haiti.
Supported by Victoria Falconer, Kween G, and more, M’ap Boulé – Haitian Creole for “I’m on fire” – is a celebration of culture, connection, resistance, and spirit.
To say that M’ap Boulé is an important work would be an understatement; it is a voice we rarely hear, yet demonstrates itself to be, quite possibly, the voice we need most to hear.
Suzy Goes See
Denis is an exuberant and powerhouse Australian performer with a cheeky smile that melts your heart and makes you wonder what else that tinkle in the eye has in store for us.
