Adama Drabo has devised a gender-bending farce set among the 18th Century Dogon to make some serious points about the status of women in Africa today. This humorous tale in which women's and men's roles are reversed was, in part, inspired by the actual role women played in Mali's 1991 revolution. "Yayeme squabbles with her husband over who will fetch the day's wood. He refuses. This is women's work, and he will not be seen doing it. Defeated, Yayeme sets off at dusk to find wood, and runs into a procession of spirits Wrestling one to the ground, she seizes the Albarga, the mask of the cliff spirits. She decides to exact some revenge on men. Back in the village she dons the mask and lays down the law. Men must now gather water, prepare food, clean, look after the children and tend to their mates. Women will do what men did: supervise their spouses, and sit in the shade, philosophizing. Taafe Fanga translates roughly as The Power of the Skirt, and it's an awesome force when unleashed."
