The Eintou Springer’s play ‘Kambule’ will be performed on Carnival Friday morning at 4 am, February 17, 2023, in response to numerous queries, confirms the Idakeda Group.

This production has been described by noted carnival practitioner Rawle Gibbons as a ritual enactment of the Canboulay uprisings of 1881.

This resistance allowed our carnival to continue and Kambule is the only place where this history is told in the form of a full theatrical production.

We are very excited to be back at the Piccadilly location after the COVID-related absence of the last two years. There are many new, young members of our cast, as well as a number of additions to the production.

Thank you to Executive Producers, NCC for including us in their 2023 programme. This iconic work is now in its 19th year of starting carnival by bringing the history to life through a powerful combination of music, chants, dance and theatre.

We would also like to invite members of the public to participate in our series of carnival workshops focussed on young people and our Kambule Marketplace currently taking place in collaboration with the National Library and Information System Authority, NALIS.

Workshops are free and all are welcome. Refreshments and carnival memorabilia will be on sale. All activities are from 10 am – 5 pm until Thursday, February 16^th.  A Theatre in Carnival Exhibition is also taking place at the library featuring the play Kambule, information about Traditional Carnival Characters and the 1881 uprisings that saved the Trinidad and Tobago carnival.
