Les Gens de New Toulouse
Congo Square on the Grand Tour Sunday!
Miss Indea Vaher and Mr. Rudolfo Woodget welcome the Grand Tour for a celebration of St. John's Eve, to be held in Congo Square in the parish of New Toulouse from 6 am to 7:30 am SLT on June 21. (Congo Square is just north of the telehub in New Toulouse, on the banks of the River.)
In the old city, they would gather in Congo Square, those dragged from their homes an ocean away. They would tell the old tales and dance the old dances. Miss Marie was there, in the shadows with her wisdom and her potions and her knowledge of the old ways, the voodoo. On St. John's Eve, when the spirits were very close, they would dance the whole night long. Those who came to watch and jeer found themselves drawn into the dance, and their lives were never the same.
In New Toulouse of the 1920s, they say, some still gather on the shortest night of the year, down by the river. They come up from the bayous and down from the fancy houses because they know: on this night, the spirits are with them.
Join us, Grand Tourists. Come in the bright colors that please the spirits. Come with an open mind: come to watch, come to dance, come to remember how it was, back in the day..
