The Nexus between Performance, Aesthetics and Philosophical Motifs in Indigenous Festivals

Öz

The idea of expediency that is identified with the two mythical sisters that were abducted during the era of slavery and slave trade may have been constructed to sensitise folks about the need to be prepared at all times and probably informed by their social status, and without the instruments of state to enforce security, they might have been exposed to orgies such as slavery and kidnapping. The same measure may not be attributed to powerful members in view of their ability to provide apparatus for security. This exposure to economic wherewithal, however, does not preclude them from relating with the philosophical tempo of the milieu such as consciousness of the place of time in whatever they do or intend to do. Using aesthetics as a theoretical springboard, the study concludes that indigenous performances are means of regulating behaviours.
