'Le Cri' expresses a clear, almost audible expulsion of emotions, feelings and stories. “I speak from a very personal place. It was important for me to have a very strong foundation to build my practice on, and that meant knowing my history. And not just about slavery, but going back to my origins. Knowing classical African history, African and Afro-Caribbean spiritualities and ancient Egyptian history. In this history I was looking for role models.” - Elladj Lincy Deloumeaux.
