A group of African people perform a mud dance. The participants, most with mud on their faces and bodies, are dressed in minimal outfits – some in bras, others topless, all wearing skirts made of green leaves, and some with green branches adorning their heads. They are arranged in lines, moving forward in procession in a dirt clearing. A few carry objects, including gourds and wooden sticks. The sky is partially cloudy, and onlookers stand in the background.
