What does a revolution sound like?
Revolution Across the Atlantic brings history to life through an immersive sonic journey connecting three powerful uprisings: the 1789 French Revolution, the 1791 Haitian Revolution, and the 1811 Louisiana Slave Revolt.

Step into the historic rooms of the BK House as they are transformed by sound—where revolutionary declarations, defiant drumming, and freedom songs rise from the walls and gardens, echoing centuries of struggle and hope.

Experience includes:
🔹 Revolutionary texts brought to life through performance
🔹 Archival songs and poetry from three continents
🔹 Drum rhythms and spirituals from Haiti and Louisiana
🔹 Contemporary reflections by local artists and culture bearers

Join us on Bastille Day to explore the shared pulse of rebellion that traveled across oceans and empires—and still resonates today.
