Twilight Fallas Festival Burning Figures Bamenda in at a night market near Bamenda

Twilight Fallas Festival Burning Figures Bamenda

by Penelope Munoz

Deep indigo twilight blankets a wet-season night market near Bamenda, where towering paper-mache ninot figures stand ready for the traditional burning. Heavy overcast skies diffuse the cool blue hour light, casting soft shadows across the damp pavement. Bright orange flames lick upward from the base of the central giant, illuminating the intricate folds of the costume and the wet sheen on the surrounding stalls. Spectators in dark raincoats cluster in a perfect symmetrical arrangement, their faces illuminated by the flickering fire against the gloom. The smoke rises in thin, grey ribbons that dissolve into the heavy clouds above the burning effigy. One spark lands on a wet canvas tarp, sizzling into a tiny, dark hole.
