Explications sur cette œuvre :
Kulama Piyapiya II (Kulama Dream II). The Kulama Ceremony is performed in the late wet season (March-April) when a ring appears around the moon. Kulama is a traditional initiation for young men which coincides with the harvest of a certain wild yam species. Elders of both sexes sing and
dance for three days welcoming the boys into adulthood. The boy is then renamed with his true man's name.
