In association with CLOWNS WITHOUT BORDERS and BOND STREET THEATRE

HAITI: To be continued!

We're already fast at work to make it possible to return and continue our work with FAVILEK.  To work on their new show about women's experiences in the aftermath of the earthquake.

I joke with them that I'll call up Obama and drum up some support, he'll make it happen.  We'll perform at the White House together!  At this there's laughter and excitement and applause, and suddenly they all launch into an Obama song:  "Obama, Obama, si ca fait la pluie ou bon temps!"  Basically, "Obama, in good or bad times!"  Meaning Obama is there for us and will take care of things.  If only!

Seriously, we wish to continue working together and we at Bond Street Theatre will work hard to find the support to bring FAVILEK to the United States to present their show here, and all over the world.  Bond Street did it with the Exile Theatre from Afghanistan, we can do it with the women of FAVILEK, too.

We are really excited about the prospect of our continued collaboration.
