Jankunu Productionz presents 'Belize Rewind' in San Pedro Town

Island residents and visitors are invited to attend Jankunu Productionz 'Belize Rewind' show to be held at the Paradise Theatre in San Pedro Town on Friday, April 12th. Belize Rewind is a Belizean historical and cultural immersion, depicting Belize from settlement to independence via live on-stage acting, singing, dancing and poetry. It is engaging, entertaining and interactive, and a total cultural experience.

Belize Rewind tells the dynamic story of Belize from settlement to independence, through some of the pivotal points in history that shaped and defined Belize as a people and a nation. Dance, acting and song bring to life Belize's progression from a logwood settlement and revered Maya stronghold that resisted Spanish attempts at colonization, to a British colony and eventually to independence. The show demonstrates how Belize's cultures and ethnicities came to be interwoven into the lovely Belizean tapestry, while highlighting some of their respective contributions to who we are as a people. Attendees will also be transported to ancient Chactemal where you will witness the unfolding of an epic love story that birthed the Mestizo people.

"You will hear a bit of the languages and dialects spoken in Belize and listen to rich vocals while moving to the irresistible rhythms of the African infused Creole and Garifuna culture. Perhaps you will even learn to Punta (a dance of the Garifuna people)," said a representative of Jankunu Productionz. The Belizean story is one of triumph through adversity, making much with little and above all one of harmonious diversity. The show is a must see for Belizeans and visitors to Belize. It evokes feelings of national pride, nostalgia and inspires the Belizean dream and kindles the desire to know more about Belize, it is more than a walk down memory lane, and it is an epic journey. Above all Belize Rewind is just superb entertainment as some of Belize's best talents grace the stage. The show is topped off with a vibrant and interactive post show reception where patrons can network, reminisce and partake in the good old Belizean tradition of 'long bench' with delectable selections.

Jankunu Productionz delights San Pedro with 'Belize Rewind' theatrical play

After a countrywide tour, Jankunu Productionz arrived in San Pedro Town on Friday, April 26th with the final performance of its dynamic play 'Belize Rewind' captivating a large audience at the Paradise Theatre. The theatrical show features a full historical and cultural immersion that depicts Belize from settlement to its birth as a nation in 1981. The entertaining show included original songs, dances, creative poetry and a drama that submerged the audience back in history revealing what Belize is all about and what it has to offer.

The anticipated performance began shortly after 7PM, as founders of Jankunu Productionz Julie-Ann Ellis Bradley and Sandra McKay welcomed everyone to the show. Opening the spectacle was an interactive number featuring the public meeting held before the Battle of St. George's Caye in 1798. The audience played the part of the community back then, who participated in the public meeting whether to stay and fight the Spaniards who threatened to remove the English settlers and their slaves from what is now Belize or abandon the settlement. As in history, the activity showed that there was a 65 to 51 vote to defend the settlement. Next, there was a re-enactment of the Battle of St. George's Caye in which the settlers known as the Baymen, defeated the Spanish army and resulted in the territory becoming an English colony.
