Minutes of the Bush Council

When Papa Bois calls the Bush Council to order, nobody arrives on time, nobody brings refreshments, and everybody has an excuse.

Douen says children don’t come outside anymore.
Soucouyant says modern security systems have ruined honest night work.
La Diablesse says seduction dead and the algorithm wicked.
Lagahoo says people no longer run when they hear chain in the dark—they open the window and start recording.

What begins as a comic performance review turns into something sharper: a reckoning with relevance, disrespect, visibility, commercialization, and a world where folklore is no longer feared, only filmed.

Minutes of the Bush Council is a Caribbean satire rooted in Trinidadian voice, folklore, and rhythm. Hilarious, pointed, and wildly original, it imagines legendary figures not as distant myths, but as workers in crisis—forced to confront branding, social media, technology, and the humiliations of modern life.

For anyone who has ever loved folklore, laughed through frustration, or watched the old world get remixed into content, this meeting is for you.
