EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, amateur actors take center stage as they perform a Sao Tomense play called Auto de Floripes. The vibrant costumes and traditional African attire worn by the performers add an enchanting touch to the scene. Set against the backdrop of Principe, a tropical paradise in West Africa, this annual August performance takes place in the heart of Santa Antionio. Sao Tome and Principe, Africa's second smallest country, is known for its rich cultural heritage. This theatrical production showcases their deep-rooted love for storytelling and theater arts. As each actor passionately portrays their character on stage, they bring to life the essence of Sao Tomean traditions. The Portuguese colony influences are evident in both the language spoken during the play and some aspects of its narrative structure. However, it is through these performances that Sao Tomeans proudly celebrate their unique identity and showcase their artistic prowess. Camilla Watson skillfully captures this momentous occasion with her lens, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the beauty of African theater culture. Whether you have experienced similar plays or are new to this form of artistry altogether, this print serves as a reminder that creativity knows no boundaries – transcending time zones and continents alike.
