Actress, the Bishop & the Carnival Queen
Actress, the Bishop and the Carnival Queen
Examines the traditional annual Brazilian carnival where rival groups dress up in costumes and choose a carnival king and queen. It examines the history and roots of the custom, which was introduced for the slaves in the 17th century, but which was also intermerged with a festival for a West African god, master of rebellion, chaos and revellry. Divination, sacrifice, spirit possession and withcraft are also elements that play a part in the carnival.
written and directed by Howard Reid ; produced by Howard Reid and British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
