Shows dances of the Calapalo Indians which are performed on different occasions — frequently, in order to end a drought. The participants paint their bodies for the dances and also play musical instruments, such as flutes and clarinets. Women and girls take part in the performance only as accompanists, as the entire group dances from house to house.
