Description

metal,

From dawn to dusk throughout the cultivating season, teams of young men swing their iron hoes to the rhythms of drums and xylophones, as proud staff bearers follow behind the competing champions of each team. Through the use of sculpture, orchestra, song and dance, hoeing contests transform grinding labor into ritual.
