The Hunt for the ‘Black Box’ is on
– premiere scheduled for this weekend.
One of the more elusive sources of wealth and power in the Guyanese section of the New Cariland is the black box, an entity that visits the country every ten years. The Black Box is described as a figure that possesses a double-sided triangular identity.
At the base is the protector, generally symbolized by a sword. On one side is the creator, symbolized by the box, and on the other side is the teacher, symbolized by the pen.
Even though Guyanese are currently preoccupied with the effects of the escalating food and fuel prices, the mystery of the ‘Black Box’ continues to puzzle them. That mystery should be solved today and reinforced tomorrow.
The ‘Black Box’ is seen as a continuously moving force which brought the two Jamaicans, Green Dunks and Otis Redding, to these shores.
Also drawn by this powerful force are comedian Goldteeth Frank, conman Boonta, and his partner, Moonstone, and Sean Goodman. It is comprehendible that the force is known as the Black Box, and a serialized movie is being made about those who seek it. The premiere of the ‘Hunt for the Black Box’ will be held at the site for the Chichester-Coleman Arts Harbour, located at 216 Bamboo Drive, Meadow Brook Gardens (a short distance from the Conquerors’ Football Field).
The premiere is expected to portray an intriguing collaboration of drama, comedy, romance, folklore, martial arts and nostalgia. Linden ‘Jumbie’ Jones, Simone Dowding and Anthony Snow, as well as lesser known faces — Tomeika Gilkes, Savita Kalisaran and youthful members of the Black Hawks martial arts group — are expected to perform.
Outside of its value of ‘edutainment’ the Black Box series is being designed for the promotion of arts and tourism and is a production of the When Las Movement, a non-profitable organization that is committed to the preservation and promotion of Guyanese and Caribbean folk culture.
Contributions gained from the sale of DVDS will be donated to the fund-raising programme for the establishment of ‘a school for the performing arts.’
The event begins at 5pm daily. Admission is $400.
