Mas' Rebellion Ltd

Mas' Rebellion! is a Carnival Band rebelling against the narrow confines of bikini and beads and "exclusive" all-inclusive bands. We start with the art of storytelling and produce the costuming for YOU the masquerader to perform the art of Carnival. Trinidad and Tobago is a land of plenty. Plenty colours, plenty shapes and plenty sizes. If you love our art and you love our costumes – you can be a Rebel! If you want to have a good time on the road – you can be a Rebel! Carnival was once more than a parade through the streets. Our presentations were more than that - they were exhibitions of art and beauty, and stories of politricks and economics. Carnival was a commentary on the State, on Society and about our very humanity. Mas’ Rebellion seeks a return to this part of our roots. We believe in story and spectacle. You will embody a character, an idea or a concept. Your costume will be one piece of a greater whole: an epic story told through bodies and motion; through colour, light and sound. We believe in diversity. No one is too big or too small to be a Rebel. No one is too dark or too fair. No one is too gay or too straight. No one is too old or too young, and no one is too wassy or too stush! If you love our art and you love our costumes – you can be a Rebel! If you want to have a good time on the road – you can be a Rebel! If you want to get on bad bad bad – you can be a Rebel! If you want to stand up and take a small wine here and there – you can be a Rebel! We only ask our masqueraders to do three things: 1) Love your body and your costume on de road 2) Respect each other and stay safe, and 3) Have a great time!
