Abstract
This essay is designed to evaluate the various forms and aesthetics of the performing Arts featured in the annual Carnival, Calabar and the human right implications of the carnival for movement of people and businesses during the A?¢??dry runA?¢?? rehearsals and actual carnival performance. Consequently, the essay attempts to address four core issues which are: 1. Impact of the Calabar Carnival, 2. The performing Arts, 3. Restrictions on Movement and attitude of criminals and 4. Implications for human right Protection. Three hundred and sixty (360) respondents were involved in the evaluation. The data collected from the respondents were analyzed using the simple percentage. In addition, the principles guiding aesthetics of arts were used to describe the quality and symbolism of the Performing Arts involved in the Carnival, Calabar. Since Carnival, Calabar is performed largely in the street, the essay attempted to determine whether there is infringement on the fundamental rights of citizens within the period and location of the carnival and the role of the performing art in that infringement.
