Jean Caze

Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts

The fall of patriarchal power through a fragmented journey through King Lear's memory is the premise that sustains this contemporary perspective on the Shakespearean classic, where the internal confrontations between father and daughter and the consequences of power take center stage. Among them, a young figure—the jester, the echo, the bridge—bursts forth with truths that can no longer be silenced because in Lear, time stops moving; it repeats itself, dissolves, and opens like a wound that transforms the old King's memory into a battlefield.

Haitian-American trumpeter and composer Jean Caze (pronounced “jhan koz”) is a prominent figure in today's jazz scene. Throughout his career, Caze has remained committed to musical innovation, blending his Haitian heritage with American jazz influences. His style of Afro-Caribbean instrumental music can be compared to that of Hugh Masekela, Fela Aníkúlápó Kuti and the Caribbean Jazz Project.
