Saint Domingue is a historical drama with a hint of fantasy and horror. The title Saint Domingue is the colonial name for Ayiti/Haiti and the story is inspired by true events.

 

The setting begins in present-day Nigeria with a Mega Church pastor named Joseph, who is in the middle of a media war with Tiwa Ado, leader of the Nigerian Women’s Labor Union. The problem is Tiwa Ado wants to acquire a vacant factory to create jobs and change the socioeconomics of Nigeria; Joseph wants to purchase the factory to transform it into a second mega church.

​

Since the start of the feud, Joseph has been having nightmares and visions of an eerie old woman dressed in a rugged red, white, and blue African gown. The woman is an ancient spirit that possesses modern day people who refuse to honor their cultural heritage and history. 

​

One day, Joseph stumbles across an antique book filled with pictures of a slave insurrection. He opens the book and releases a spell that transports him back to 18th Century Haiti. In colonial Haiti (Saint Domingue), Joseph assumes the identity of Boukman, a real historical figure in Haitian history. Overall, the musical offers a fictitious account of the year leading up to the Haitian Revolution; specifically, the night the revolution was launched under the leadership of Boukman during the historic Bois Caïman Vodou Ceremony.
