Vodou is the earth-based practice that bridges people to the divine and spirit world through the primordial forces of ancestral love and music; an amalgamated non-denominational faith rooted in memories carried over from West Africa. While not central characters, we will see anthropomorphized versions of the lwa (spirits) that guide the plot and contribute to foreshadowing elements. Wrapped up in folklore, proverbs, and the mysticism of water, motifs of Haitian life and culture, such as the belief in werewolves and zombies, will be woven into the story, providing cultural and historical accuracy.
