Abstract

The author describes revived Carnival ceremonies in Barat which, despite numerous innovations, bear essential characteristics of the traditional Carnival in this area. There are three major groups of masked men: »doctors«, »the wedding party« and the men who act as the Prince and the Princess of Carnival. Besides the obligatory dancing of balun in front of every house and collection of presents while doing rounds of the village, the men perform games and presentations which remind of ancient fertility magic.
