Edition II surveys how Jean-Pierre Bekolo futurizes, cinematically adapts, and therefore immortalizes the pre-colonial female ritual and society of mevungu. Power hierarchies are turned upside down by positioning the woman's erotic body as the healing vessel to the politically and sexually corrupt state. In both content and form, Edition II explores the futuristic underbelly of Yaoundé through coined concepts of commandment, necropolitics, deathworlds, and jouissance.
