The
Oracle - Vision and Prophesy of Mas
In the large band category, the band's presentation, titled Gnothi Seauton (Know Thy Self), is led by Scott Saldenah, grandson of mas legend Harold Saldenah, and co-leader/designer Aaron Schneider, who despite his youth is a veteran mas designer. Packed
with talented people, the Oracle's committee includes some of the most recognizable
names in theatre, including production manager and veteran Callaloo Company official
Cecilia Salazar; former National Drama Association of T&T president Christine
Johnston; renowned theatrical director Helmer Hilwig, DJ/ announcer and son of
the late mas legend Harold Saldenah - Junior Saldenah and production manager Ronald
Guy James who is also a veteran of Callaloo Company. And obviously with this talented
crew on board mas players and spectators can expect a truly dynamic, memorable
presentation in carnival arts 'on d road'. "Gnothi
Seauton is the story of the human cycle. Every person's life is interrupted by
the choices they make along the way. Our presentation will examine ten major aspects
of life and how the decisions we make affect us and the people around us,"
explains Schneider. Despite the November launch, registration for the band will begin with the opening of the mas camp in October. The Ariapita Avenue mas camp will be officially opened to the public on October 1 from 8 am to 9 pm each day. (Tel No: 868 490 9828) However, in the meantime, pre-registration is currently taking place on the website - www.oraclett.com. |
