In class performance of Duality

Ti Moune - facing opposite direction
Give me your blessings to leave...

Mama
What Madness is this?
What is this nonsense I can hear?

Ti Moune
I must go
Daniel Beauxhomme needs me.

Mama
He needs a poor peasant girl?

Ti Moune
Agwe and Erzulie saved young Daniel from the hands of Papa Gé on the promise of my soul!

Mama
Then it's the gods who have gone mad. You are sixteen, Ti Moune.

Ti Moune
I must leave the village, and I must go tonight
Young Daniel Beauxhomme is in danger. He needs me. I must go to him - or he might die.

Mama
The road is hard for men and mules. It can be death for a little girl.

Ti Moune
I don't care. I am not a child anymore.

Mama
You consider leaving us after the care we gave you for all these years for a man you only know for a couple days and who might not love you back.

Ti Moune
I know he loves me, I feel it.

Mama
How you can feel it? Stop blaming yourself. It makes me sad that you are choosing him instead of us. We have always loved you the most.

Ti Moune
You don't understand!

Mama
Of course I don't understand you! I have always tried to raise you up in the best way with the strongest love. It hurts me to see you blind, I am sorry but your thoughts are not real!

Ti Moune
Oh, Mama... I am sorry... but I must leave now...
