Showtime Carnival proudly presents:

"Côté Ci, Côté Là"

A breathtaking fusion of language, culture, and Carnival expression.

Inspired by John Mendes’ celebrated "Côté Ci, Côté Là: Trinidad & Tobago Dictionary", this presentation transforms the expressive, lyrical, and powerful dialect of our people into a visual and immersive mas experience.
