The University of the West Indies Department of Creative and Festival Arts (DCFA) will host The Old Yard on February 8, from noon.
The Old Yard is described by organisers as "a unique performance showcase of masquerade traditions." It promises a dynamic mix of cultural history and Carnival masquerade showcase, all presented in the format of a heritage fair.
A $50 entrance ticket affords patrons the chance to witness contemporary re-imagining of our very own traditional Carnival characters including bats, minstrels, burrokeets, midnight robbers, and Dame Lorraine.
Children are ticketed at a discounted price of $30.
The venue is the Gayelle at DCFA, Agostini Street, St. Augustine, which is an actual yard, complete with an architectural style reminiscent of long ago.
More information is available from organisers at 663-2222, 662-2002 ext 82510,645-1955 or 645-0873.
