The San Pedro de Macorís entry documents Cocolo dance theatre in the Dominican Republic. UNESCO’s account traces the practice to English-speaking Caribbean migrant workers. David and Goliath is one of the stories performed. Following it on stage means noticing which moments the movement and music bring forward.
