"In the gayelle, you not only fighting another person, you battling your own darkness."
In this year's Cultural Explosion 5: A Wondrous Odyssey it was important that we centre our presentation around the fight for freedom. Our cultural heritage is one rich in diversity and Belmont Freetown takes our responsibility in preserving and sharing it, very seriously.
Having a reimagining of the lead up to the Canboulay Riots of 1881, grounded our deeply rooted ancestral work in reality and remembrance of the efforts towards Emancipation.
It it a reminder that even now in 2025, we do not stand alone. We stand on the shoulders of people we never met but who contributed so much to Trinidad and Tobago.
Brûle-le!! Freedom!
