It follows famed novelist Alexandre Dumas’ attempt to finish his latest novel while suffering crippling writer’s block. To complete it, he must reconcile his father’s history as a Haitian-born son of a French nobleman and a slave, and his journey to become a leader of the French Revolution and rival to Napoleon. His father’s heroism and forced imprisonment would inspire The Count Of Monte Cristo and much of his Dumas’ other writings. The musical fuses classical influences and Afro-Haitian music and dance, while exploring the author Dumas’ unresolved questions of identity, democracy, and legacy.
