The reenactment of any of Shakespeare's plays
(well, a piece of it) is a tradition and very 
particular of Carriacou Carnaval. 
It happens on mardi gras. 

Early in the morning a group of “revelers” descent 
from the village in the mountain arriving in the main 
village on the sea, Hiilsborough, 
around mid day, under a shining sun and a 
temperature around its 34 C. Dressed in a makeshift 
“armour” which is a table cloth which 
covers a padded cardboard “vest” that protects the 
“duelers” from the hits they give each other with a 
rod, a real one. 

Apparently they do not harm each other but they need 
to be separated by other people. I do not know if 
it is part of the show or it is because they really 
will not stop beating each other. 
Anyway see it in the video. 

The Shakespearean reenactment happens between two 
people, just a brief part from a 
Shakespeare play, what I could recognize and know was 
a part from Julius Caesar: Cassius soliloquy. 

Also the kids are involved doing just the soliloquy 
not the beating. I guess the beating is a reenactment 
of a duel which as in the spirit of Carnival, 
becomes a “releasing” act: a way to let the “poisons” 
come out of you so every act becomes exaggerated and 
distorted . 
Look at the Venetians 
masks or the Celebration of death in Mexico. 

You could try this kind of 
“releasing” home, with the proper padding, to release 
your stress instead of taking Xanax or Abilify and 
the sort. Of course it will be 
absolutely necessary to find the other dueler: 
I am sure you can think about one.
