Voodoo Festival in Saut d'Eau, Haiti. A woman bathes in a trance of Saut d'eau pools to connect with Iwa. But if the dances and invocations have that intrinsic religious emotional climax, is the sound of drums that actually dominates the landscape. This is where the white-eyes trance, involuntary movements, gestures idem- extends like a cloak psychotropic between 'ounsis'. There are few believers that go to Ville Bonheur just to look and end up dancing in muddy water puddles to worship without being able to control neither his body nor his will, to the deities of the kingdom Dahomey (nor are few, it is true, those who understand nothing and assume this ceremony as pure theater).
