Ti Jean and His Brothers

Strand Theater
1127 Market St. San Francisco

Never try to beat the devil at his own game. In this poetic fable from Nobel Prize-winning Caribbean playwright Derek Walcott, three brothers - strong Gros Jean, scholarly Mi Jean, and youthful Ti Jean - attempt to vex the devil. Only one can triumph over injustice and free the world from this evil. Drawing upon myths, magic, and mask work, Ti Jean and His Brothers is a powerful exploration of the legacy of enslavement and colonialism. A.C.T.'s Master of Fine Arts Program presents Ti Jean and His Brothers, by Derek Walcott and directed by Dawn Monique Williams, at the Strand Theater.
