By Alix Cohen May 25, 2025: Ogresse is a musical fable billed as "both a biomythography (weaving myth, history, and biography in epic narrative) and an homage to Erzulie", the Haitian African spirit of love, beauty, and flowers; also jealous and spoiled. French/ Haitian/American Cécile McLorin Salvant has devised a dark, powerful tale of hunger, Diaspora, nature, love, and lies.
