Ti Moune was found on a tree by Mama Euralie and Tonton Julian when she was very young and sick at that time. She was almost dying, but the four gods, in this island, saved her and let her have a happy life with Mama and Tonton. Ti Moune doesn't know that there is a reason why the gods saved her life until she met Daniel in a car crash. She insisted to keep Daniel safe when he was weak and fainted no matter how other peasants stop her saving him, and she falls in love with Daniel inevitablely. Ti Moune overcomes all of the challenges and obstacles to find Daniel and hopes to stay with him. However, it is never allowed that a poor girl can marry a boy who lives in the wealthy world. It is predictable that the story between Ti Moune and Daniel is a cothurnus. Ti Moune dies and becomes a tree which lives forever.
The biggest success in this musical drama in my view point is the songs different characters sing. These songs express different emotions to the audience which made us feel what they feel. For example, when peasants gathering toghether and praying for Daniel become alive, the song sung by all characters shows strong emotion how Ti Moune and others hope Daneil be safe intensively. And another example is that Ti Moune insists to save Daniel and tells her parents she eventually knows the reason why the gods saved her, she sings "It's time for me to save him" to Mama and Tonton, and so makes them moved. The most touching plot through the whole drama I think is when Ti Moune sings to everyone that she loves Daniel and wants to find and stay with him no matter how dangerous the journey is and how difficult for them two to love without obstacles. I almost cried because of Ti Moune's determination and the cothurnus behind her decision. People can hardly imagine how hard it is to love freely when the love is limited with many problems and challenges. How sad it is when Ti Moune finds she will never be able to marry Daniel. And how beautiful and good love it is between the wild girl and a boy. These are all shown in the songs, and thus make audience feel different emotions strongly. Also, the performances of every actors are expressive and proper. They all know how to act naturally and show the right actions; therefore, the whole performance is splendid enough to get the attractions of audience.
Thanks for those actors who brought me a wonderful night.
