Yanvalou to Petwo: Embodying 'Haitian Dance Fantasy' by Gus Mazzocca

This dance performance, choreographed and performed by Jean-Sebastien Duvilaire and Ann Mazzocca, is based in Haitian folkloric and contemporary postmodern dance techniques and vocabularies. The piece was made in relation to and as a response to the series of prints by artist Gus Mazzocca entitled, "Haitian Dance Fantasy," a collaborative project from 2007 between the artist and his daughter, Ann, inspired by her participation in Haitian folkloric dance performance based in New York City and travels to Haiti during that period. Duvilaire and Mazzocca focused their dance in Yanvalou, a dance/rhythm from the Rada pantheon of Vodou, the African-based religion in Haiti and from where the folkloric dances emerge. They explore relationship to the cool energy of the movement and each other through sharing weight and building to the energy contained within Petwo, the pantheon of Haitian Vodou containing much hotter energy symbolized in the color red. You will also see elements of the Nago dance within this hotter Petwo section signifying strength, endurance, and power. Yanvalou and Petwo also served as foundational to a piece Duvilare and Mazzocca performed for the 4th Ghetto Biennale in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, in December 2015 choreographed in collaboration with Dasha Chapman and Yonel Charles.
