The name Krik? Krak! derives from a Haitian call and response tradition, and is a name given to folk festivals in the island nation. Traditionally, a storyteller stands and says “Krik?,” to which the audience replies “Krak!” and then the story begins.
After a traditional Haitian meal, served buffet style, storytellers and poets will read and present from the stage. Finally, the tables will be cleared for a dance party courtesy of Revelation Mizik and L’Orchestre les Christophiles. Meanwhile, an exhibition of Haitian paintings by Jean-Paul Willy fills the Zabar Lobby Gallery.
