Amid all the madness of this Carnival week, last night I went to the gala opening of 3 Canal’s Bacchanal Show at Queen’s Hall and it was excellent. Attendees were feted with cocktails and hor dourves an hour before the show started and I met with none other than Dougla_1 who invited me to the show and I so graciously accepted. Let me just say Dougla_1 (real name held in confidence) was just as pleasant as I expected and quite passionate about his Carnival. It was refreshing to meet yet another blogger this week (I met one at Normandie's fete on Sunday) and realise they are just as "cool" in person as their alter ego on the blog.
For those who intend on seeing the concert I will not give much away, but the theatrical element to the show, a representation of “ole time mas” demise in the time of "bikini mas" is a witty, satirical commentary on the Carnival past. Cecelia Salazar as the Dame Lorraine is hilarious and the other supporting cast include a Midnight Robber, Jamette, Baby Doll, Fancy Indian and a Jab Jab who stole the show for me with his performance.
3 Canal looking quite dapper, gave a rousing performance, with members of the audience having no choice but to move in their seats. Their repertoire was a perfect compliment to the story being told and included new songs such as “Mornin Neighbor” as well as some favorites such as “Blue” and “Mud Madness”.
After three hours of music coupled with dance and drama, 3 Canal closed the show to a standing ovation. I too concur with all those who rose to their feet at the climax of the concert, and have to say I enjoyed it immensely. It was a welcome departure from the manic fetes that populate this week leading up to Carnival to take in a show that titillates all your senses !
