Let us imagine we are approaching the shore of an unknown island, taking part in an expedition. With great surprise, we recognise that the island is inhabited. Strange-looking but seemingly friendly people step out of the woods; they wave to us and invite us to take part in a big celebration. A ritual is being performed in our honour with exotic music played on exotic instruments. The unfamiliar sounds accompany a narrative that we cannot fully grasp. Two men are fighting; the winner spares the life of the loser. Then, in Act Two, a woman enters the scene: she seems to have lost a goat from her herd, she argues with a guy who is deaf and cannot help her; all of a sudden there is a big party going on and everyone is cheering happily. We are left stunned by the mysterious performance, by its energy and physicality, by the impact of its sounds and rhythms.
