Synopsis “I have no regrets,” says Vivianne Gauthier, sitting on her bed in the room where she has slept for over eighty years. A singular woman—strong, disciplined, and energetic—this choreographer and dance teacher lived life on her own terms, leaving her mark on the cultural history of her country, Haiti.
