Living Histories of Sugar invites audiences across the Atlantic to be immersed in the sights and sounds of historical characters: from sugar barons and refinery owners, to enslaved and ‘free’ people, sugar refinery workers and their wives. This performance encourages Caribbean and Scottish audiences to contest, re-signify or otherwise rework the historical record.
