The carnival character - Bats


The bookmann's interpretation of the carnival bat

The Bat is one of the many characters from Traditional mas in Trinidad and Tobago


A masquerader in his costume crawling, flapping, dancing and folding his wings in a series of choreographed movements imitating the bat. Sadly, he was the only
bat portrayal present at Viey La Cou in 2006.
