The playwright and director, Bob Lapierre, chose to dub this story Reclaiming Choukoun rather than Choukoun because he has taken back what belongs to the Ayitian culture, Choukoun. Choucoune, by bard Charles Alexis Oswald Durand, is priceless for the Ayitian civilization, for this once ode, turned lyrical, is indeed the symbol of a transitional period in the peoples' literature. Choukoun assumes the first piece of evidence ever recorded in Ayiti's Kreyòl literature by the native speakers. For the past 500 or more years, Ayiti has been part of the World's History. As a member of the society of nations, Ayitians have made numerous worthy but rarely publicized contributions. However, we remain subjects of discrimination by North Americans' policies, the US - though our forebears fought to help them become free from British tyranny. In the name of our forefathers, we are resilient by nature. It is a pending controversy that is not hard to clean up. Although Choukoun is celebrated throughout the world: Caribbean islands, South America, a portion of North America (the US and Canada), and Europe, Choukoun's reputation has been overshadowed throughout the English-speaking countries, for their citizens have been spoiled with Mr. Harry Belafonte's Yellow Bird, in other words, Choukoun! In Reclaiming Choukoun, Bob Lapierre has reclaimed an entire memoir, the Ayitian classic epic, Choukoun!
