...ONCE AGAIN HOLYWOOD & CARREFOUR
Nobody knows what the future will be especially
when you're born in Carrefour, Haiti. But, it's sometimes this kind of
birthplace that makes you unique.
Kreyol Wa, in his mid thirties, remembers his
childhood along with a beautiful mother as well as his wanderings in Gris Gris,
Cotes de fer. Pushed by the winds of adventures, Kreyol was fond of
football and everything his unwary teenage could go through. At this
time, Carrefour, south Pt-au-Prince, was a neighborhood with rural look
and scents, and a lot of emptiness, though filled with middle
class people and seemed able to attract famous and wealthy whether Max
Beauvoir, St Hubert or Alexander Abraham, all of them scholars, entrepreneurs
and educated voodoo priests with a good standing. M. Wa enjoyed life playing and going to
school, as his parents were looking after him so much. This mixture of
adventures, good life and nurturing neighborhood seals a fate to
Kreyol...
Carrefour still is to Haiti a kind of St Tropez
that older peoples used to call la frontera. More than a century ago,
Alexandre Petion at Thor-le Volant, and long time before Pauline Leclerc at the
famous but today decayed Habitation Leclerc had had fun by settling
there, not far from the sea. Giant trees recall in silence these gone times.
However, that was enough to appeal to bright and nostalgic peoples.
Kreyol got his way without knowing why and how neither.
M. Wa studied a lot to the point to be
attempted to reenact this untamed Carrefour where artists, ordinary
guys submitted to psychedelic plants
live on, fed by unnamed desires and crazy dreams. M. Wa however went his way
being about to reinvent himself, what he did going to Holywood, Los Angeles to
finally get his epiphany. He was turning his 30s.

M. Wa sounds still sad when telling the story of
his delicate childhood, for having
attended bad school and shared the life of heartless people. There are so many
misfortunes in the children world in Hait. However, a few years later, M. Wa
was graduated from.... needless to say that he got along with producers,
authors and actors, some of them already famous ,such as Danny Glover,
Jimmy Jean Louis, and Russel Crowe ,the general of Gladiators. A
writer, screen player and movie producer, Kreyol Wa is ready to challenge this
field where so many get lost while a few survive. " Movie industry is
expansive and time consuming. But it's worth going there, even for history and
new generations." K.Wa will go in business." For the best”, he seems
to add, with his infectious optimism.
