The full-length work premieres in St. John’s before touring to Tangente in Montréal in November, Centennial Theatre in Lennoxville, QC, in February 2015 and TBC: Nottdance Festival in Nottingham, UK, in March 2015.

The telling or omission of stories can be traced to a lack of understanding of the complexity of the Caribbean and its Carnival – a performance tradition that is more than the mass commodification, sexuality and “loud music” we often associate it with.
