Twice into oblivion

Haiti and the Dominican Republic share the island of Quisqueya and a hidden genocide. In 1937, Dominican dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo ordered the massacre of over 20,000 Haitian immigrants living in the Dominican Republic. Daphné Ménard, a Haitian theatre director, brought together actors from both parts of the island to work on this event. It was an unprecedented creative project, demanding people from both sides to summon up the darker realms of their histories.
