Men's Dance
- 1968 ----- color ----- 10 min ----- 16mm
- Even though the Pushtu are Moslem, this dance has no religious significance; it is purely recreational. The Pushtu men act out a drama. A mountain giant is portrayed by a crosslike figure. This devil is attacked by a brave man, who is wounded, but eventually wins. Another actor in a mask also represents a Yeti or devil.
- Topics: (Anthropology: Cultural, Ethnomusicology, Middle Eastern Studies)
