Traditional Mas Characters - Pierrot Grenade

The Pierrot Grenade is the satirical descendant of the Pierrot – a finely dressed masquerader and deeply learned scholar proud of his ability to spell any word in his own fashion and quoting Shakespearean characters as Julius Caesar, Mark Anthony and Othello at length. Pierrot Grenade falls under the category of Old Time Carnival and is the supreme jester in Trinidad Carnival known for his fierce fighting prowess with a whip or bull pistle. His name shows his strong connection to Grenada.

His costume is made by attaching multicoloured pieces of cloth to his gown-like outfit. In the old days, he wore a wire mesh mask over his face, and old hat with shrubbery attached, or simply tied his head with a handkerchief. Nowadays, however, the face is painted instead of the mask and a hood worn over the head. He prances and twirls about carrying a whip made of guava or hibiscus.
