Experience the lyrical storytelling of M’ap Boulé – a dramatic Cabaret 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 Carl St. Jacques, Anthea Williams, Victoria Falconer, Mick Stuart, Kween G and more, M’ap Boulé – Haitian Creole for “I’m on fire” – is a celebration of culture, connection and spirit.
