Abstract:
Männer tanzen stampfend im Kreis um die Frauen und legen ihre Hände auf deren Kopf und Schultern, um das Übel auf sich selbst übergehen zu lassen. Dazu stoßen die Männer heulende Rufe aus, mit deren Hilfe sie das angenommene Übel von sich werfen (tranceartiger Zustand). Die Frauen erhöhen die emotionale Erregung durch ululierendes Singen und Händeklatschen.
Abstract:
The film, a compression of several hours, begins before everyone has arrived at the scene of dancing. Music and rhythm are still disorganized. Slowly seriousness creeps into the atmosphere and men shuffling around the circle begin to administer to the women by placing their hands on the latter's heads or shoulders, thereby taking into their bodies the evil with which the harmful God /oa has charged the women. Men in a trance become evident. Their wailing prayers are heard. Explosively retching, they expel the evil they have taken into their bodies from the women. The film continues with a highly emotionally charged atmosphere in which men are trance dancing and women, while watching over them to avert injury, stimulate them to greater efforts with their ululating songs and rhythmic clapping.
