HOLLYWOOD – Teyat Pawol (The theatre of words), a Drama Group from the Caribbean Island of Dominica, which was formed in Florida in 1999, has returned with a play “DIASPORA”. The production will bring the curtains down on Caribbean Heritage Month in South Florida, June 2009.
DIASPORA, a full-length Action Theatrical Drama, has its setting in a South Florida City Hall; the play exposes the many fundamental inconsistencies in Caribbean societies, while highlighting their close Cultural and other similarities. A greater appreciation for self and Country (One Caribbean), is realized and good triumphs over evil at the end. The plot surrounds a group of Florida residents from the Caribbean “Diaspora”, a Sheriff and twin sisters who appear in the form of spirits.
The cast include, Tabitha Dacres of Jamaica, Nakima Knight, Lauralyn Dennis and Miriam Scott from Trinidad & Tobago, Priscilla Denis, Nicaise Parillon, Rashida Richardson, Noreen Joseph, Mickael Ferrol, Giselle Gabriel and Emile “Pa Ben” Serrant from Dominica and Natasha Archibald from St.Kitts/Nevis.
