Kadazan Penampang Monogit Rice Cleansing Ritual & Humabot/ Magavau Rice Harvesting Ritual (Malaysia). [Video] (2019)
Abstract
The performance is a combined composite enactment of two important annual rice ceremonies called monogit and humabot, divided into 6 parts. It describes the processes to bridge the secular and the spiritual worlds that are essential to obtaining a successful rice harvest. They are:
▪ Mamason
▪ Modsuut
▪ Magampa
▪ Mundang and Sumazau Miontong
▪ Magavau
▪ Sumazau
Each part is articulated by a particular performance and music. It culminates with the successful intervention of the priestesses, the bobohizan, with the spirit world in bringing home the rice spirits, the Bambaazon that have gone astray during the harvesting. Each successful return is reflected in the pangkis, the loud cries made by the male leader brandishing the sword heading the magavau procession. With much rejoicing, feasting and drinking, the sumazau dance is performed to pay tribute to Bambaazon to ensure a successful harvest the following year.
