The concert premieres the commissioned work of two highly regarded Stilt Mask Guilds: Nanfoule Folklore Ensemble of Washington, D.C., and Miami’s USVI Mocko Jumbie Stilt Dancers. The event also features regional, national, and international drummers, dancers, folklorists, and actors. Local groups Delou Africa Dance Ensemble, Sikan Afro-Cuban Project, and the Haitian inspired TLL Dance Ensemble also present cultural connections to the theme.
