The 'Adamma' act is a dance drama. It can only be appreciated fully if one watches the entire episode. What is in this video clip is just a fractions. So the child masquerade stumbling and the mother masquerade coming to the rescue was part of the act. This is traditional Igbo/African theatre in action.

i don't think women are allowed to be mmanwu

Yes,Adamma is actually a man behind the mask. Shocking isn't it? I have never seen "her" dance before but this much i know its a man under that mask.

I LOVE this stuff! Yeah, there was once this guy who came to perform for us in our village. He was performing (dancing/doing shakara) as a woman with skirt and wig and all...it was like so erotic...I can't get the image out of my mind...and he had the whole 'act' down...I have to say that was one of the sexiest impersonations I've seen of a woman in my life.

Yeah...to the best of my knowledge, authentic traditional Igbo masquerade dances are performed exclusively by males. Having said that though, males do not exclusively enjoy the privilege of being the visible mediums of the deities in Igbo cosmology. There have been powerful shamans/oracles who are/were female.

Thanks for sharing .... I enjoyed watching that.
