UNI 2018

PRESENTS: MAGA

An elegant evening of arts created to showcase the richness and diversity of Haitian culture, and celebrate the 215th anniversary of the Haitian Flag. UNI 2018 saw the premiere of MAGA, a ballet created by Sanford Placide honoring his mother, his homeland, and its many challenges. MAGA was inspired by Placide's childhood experiences in Haiti: the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells.
