La isla de todos los santos (1999)

One of Teatro Experimental de Cali's plays devoted to historical reconstruction as a work of fiction. The action is located in Haiti right after the French Revolution. Letizia, Napoleon's mother, tells the audience the marvelous deeds of her beloved son and the love conquests of her most beautiful daughter, Paulina. Josephine, Napoleon's wife, comes to Haiti from her exile in Martinica and introduces the political issues of Caribbean islands. Then Napoleon himself takes over: the play follows Bonaparte in the construction of a new empire of his -a fictional "island of all saints."
