In the village of Badasso, for the mystical festival of the Dipri, the young people, brushed with white kaolin, gobble fresh eggs and eat leaves with special virtues then go to the river to the sound of the tam-tam. The initiates indulge in all sorts of self-mutilations with knives, needles, guns...
Other scenes of mystical practices are performed between the different groups of initiates.
So many unpublished secrets that only the poignant testimonies will reveal.
This festival, at the same time as it reconciles the living with the dead and the geniuses, contributes to the unity of this people.
