EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the quaint village of Golant in Cornwall during April 1991. The villagers gather together for their second annual untraditional pantomime, showcasing their unique creativity and community spirit. This year's production is "Almost Aladdin" a delightful rewrite of the classic tale written by local resident John Jenkin. The photograph captures a vibrant scene filled with Chinese costumes and hats, adding an exotic touch to the Cornish setting. The cast of 38 individuals, ranging from ages 5 to 65, brings this reimagined story to life through their passionate acting skills. Their dedication shines through as they entertain and enchant the audience with their performance. Photographer Jonathan Barker skillfully captures the essence of this special moment in time. His lens freezes a snapshot that encapsulates both the energy on stage and the joyous atmosphere within the crowd. It serves as a testament to how art can bring people together, fostering connections and creating lasting memories. This print from Royal Cornwall Museum is not just about a play or costumes; it represents something much more profound – it symbolizes unity, creativity, and tradition being passed down through generations. It reminds us that even in small communities like Golant, magic can be found when people come together with shared passion and purpose.
