Tiga
Quand la vie s’arrête sur terre, elle continue au soleil. Tiga
Haïti. Sur un des bouts d’une île de la Caraïbe, dominée par la folie et le chaos, existe un artiste philosophe. Son rêve: faire que tous les habitants de cette terre trouvent le créateur caché en eux et atteignent la liberté. Pour cela, il prend à bras-le-corps la folie du pays et en assume les délires. Tiga, l’un des plus grands peintres d’Haïti et des Caraïbes, se veut un artiste total. Son nom et sa vie sont intimement liés à toute l’histoire contemporaine de l’art haïtien. (ref: Centre Petion-Bolivar)
Tiga s’est embarqué vers le soleil le 14 décembre 2006.
ou se tè
m se lespas
m’vlope w
ou se batiman
m se lanmè
m pote w
ou se pyebwa
m se van
m sekwew
ou se ou
m se mwen
ou ak mwen renmen….
de moun renmen fè youn
youn ka fè de
de ka bay sis
sis se anpil
anpil anpil moun rele pèp
pèp se la vi
la vi se libète….
