Ye Old Yard

Ye Old Yard is a production put on by the University's theater/arts department and shows the traditional charcters of Carnvial. Many of them come from Trinidad folklore traditions. Here are some pictures, and I'm sure these charcters will come up next weekend during the big Carnival celebrations!

Fire Person


Sailor

Jab Molassie (black devil)

Blue Devil - the devils were really cool, they danced around and harassed people for tips and blew fire and all sorts of things! The kids either loved it or cried!

Moko Jumbie - men on stilts

Dame Lorraine - there were many of these characters, each with either a big stomach or big butt, and they were originally making fun of their slave masters
