Ayikodans | February 16th-18th | Carnival Studio Theater
Ayikodans makes its triumphant return to the Arsht Center to present its newest production combining various influences of Haitian folk dance, improvisation, African and indigenous Indian dance forms along with French traditions and voodoo religious culture.
Founded by internationally renowned Haitian born choreographer, dancer, and educator Jeanguy Saintus Riché, Ayikodans is considered to be the premiere professional dance company of Haiti. Saintus has enabled the emergence of a new, contemporary Haitian aesthetic that, while rooted in tradition, reflects a modern Caribbean culture and creativity that would surprise many who associate the country with disaster, poverty and helplessness.
Ayikodans has danced on stages in Latin America, Europe, the United States and Asia, performing at such venues as Palacio de Bellas Artes in the Dominican Republic, Tropentheater in The Netherlands, Teatro Anayansi in Panama, and Rencontres de Danses Metisses in French Guyana.
