ABOUT
The Ikpeng community acts out the myth of the origin of their tattooing ceremony. The mythical hero and shaman Maragareum dreams about a disaster in his friend Eptxum's village. Arriving in this village, he finds everyone dead, and so he hides at nightfall to see the spirits return. Hunting, dancing and making special porridge and decorations, the spirits prepare for the ritual in which they tattoo their children. Maragareum watches and learns learns the Moyngo ceremony from the spirits of the dead, and those watching the video are able watch and learn about it as well.
