KÉSKONFE AT THE PARKER THEATRE (#RECAP) - 06/28/2025
KÉSKONFÈ with the brilliant Gaëlle Bien-aimé was an unforgettable night of laughter, truth, and raw emotion, a theatrical experience that left everyone talking!
The evening opened with lively performances by comedians Bendji and Atys Panch, setting the perfect tone for a night filled with humor and powerful storytelling. Then came Gaëlle , bold, vulnerable, and magnetic, who took us on a rollercoaster of satirical reflections and shared experiences, diving deep into issues like feminism, body shaming, sexism, classim, colorism, and political oppression.
A particularly moving moment came when Gaëlle’s father took the stage, delivering a heartfelt tribute to his daughter and offering a timeless message to all parents:
“Pray for our children.”
His words touched every soul in the room ... a reminder of love, faith, and the generational strength within Haitian families.
We were honored to experience it all in the lovely Parker Theatre in Fort Lauderdale, a venue that added elegance and intimacy to a truly powerful production.
Special thanks to Djenane St Fleur Gourgue, Vice President of the Haitian-American Chamber of Commerce, for her gracious presence and warm welcome to our guests, Recond media team Ardray "Stoi" Donaus and Raul Joseph.
And of course, deepest gratitude to everyone who made this night possible, the performers, the organizers, the supporters, and the audience who showed up in love and solidarity. You helped create a space where art met activism, comedy met courage, and culture took center stage.
💭 KÉSKONFÈ again next year?
🎭 We sure hope so!!!
Stay tuned…
