The performances in Fleurette Africaine share the struggles, despairs, joys, triumphs and visions of the characters portrayed; they also penetrate and expose personal struggles with family, intimacy and love. Multi-textured illustrative story is expressed through collaboratively diverse artistic mediums connecting individuals and communities in a multicultural, multiracial society; the global microcosm which is Toronto. The inter-disciplinary approach creates engagement at several intersections, visceral, sensual, emotional, intellectual and spiritual Altogether, Fleurette Africaine portrays complex, yet gripping, stories that expose the fulcrum of the life experiences of persons of African descent in Canada today and their connectedness to other peoples.
