A small town nestled in the mountains of Trinidad and Tobago, Paramin, is home to some of the country’s wildest blue devil festivities during the local Carnival. Every year the practitioners of the tradition compete for the title of best devil. Hidden behind paint and terrifying props, the participants are able to escape their daily identity and bring to life aspects of themselves that they generally must repress.
