Contemporary dance in Haiti challenges global stereotypes of its people, their country, and their worldmaking. Mario LaMothe profiles four celebrated Haitian choreographers to examine the influences that nurtured the generative and transgressive dance practices found today in the Caribbean nation. LaMothe weaves Vodou teaching practices with humanist and social science theory to shed light on how choreographers move among ideas of Haitian bodies as vessels, producers, and traffickers of Vodou economies. As he shows, the dancemakers’ work maneuvers through national uncertainties and international caricatures of Haiti’s challenges. At the same time, it pivots between these phenomena via dedoublaj—the act of doubling, self-doubling, transformation, and soulful travel. LaMothe’s analysis of dedoublaj reveals how dancemakers reimagine Haitian bodies as self-possessed human beings remedying unjust practices, envisioning chances for solidarity and being, and setting a course for queerly paced futures. Powerful and multidisciplinary, Vodou Rich explores Haitian dancemaking at home and its reception around the world.
