Le corps animal (the animal body) from December 20 to 23rd at the Musée du Quai Branly

Efiks Ibo, Ibibio and Ejagham elder fighters, leopard men from southeastern Nigeria fought, through ritual dances, the hidden mysteries of the night and appropriate the strength of the jungle.
Confronted with slavery, the so-called Carabali or Brikamo landed in Cuba in 1762. In Cuba Efiks will carry out this Abakua ritual until today.



For the first time in Europe the nigerian Abakua ritual meets the Cuban, with a multitude of masks and extravagant trimmings, which have evolved over the centuries.
