Shadow Puppet Screen Amid Incense Smoke in Bafoussam

by Orlando Shaffer

Dappled sunlight falls through overhead leaves, painting shifting patches of brightness across a white shadow puppet screen set up in Bafoussam. Wisps of gray incense smoke curl gently upward from a bowl at the base, softening the rigid lines of the fabric. The screen stands tall against a backdrop of low-hanging clouds visible through the canopy, suggesting the turn of a season. Rough wooden posts anchor the display, their grain worn by handling. A few colorful fabric scraps hang loosely from the frame, catching the light. The dappled shadows create a rhythmic pattern on the ground, where the texture of packed earth meets the smooth surface of the screen. A small clay bowl sits at the corner, holding the smoldering incense that feeds the rising smoke.
