Boston’s own Jean Appolon Expressions blends Haitian folkloric dance with contemporary movement, creating powerful, visually stunning works that are grounded in cultural specificity and ritual while offering an emotionally resonant experience for audiences of all backgrounds.

Through a compelling blend of the time-honored and the contemporary, artistic director and choreographer Jean Appolon creates works that speak to Haiti’s rich cultural heritage and the Afro-Haitian roots of modern dance. Through movement, he tells deeply human stories about his homeland and its people.
