At the end of this brief review of the Fang world through the cultural universe of African dances, which they have turned into an autonomous user-society employing dancers as actors and actresses. Historical causes - migration and conquest - cooperate with psychological causes - individualism and jealousy - to explain the geographical fragmentation of the population in this work that has had its day.The hidden face of these societies through multiple practices reveals that this machine functioned through multiple uses of all kinds of veiled artifice. Man was at the helm of the works, transforming them in various ways to achieve his many ends. The success enjoyed by these companies concealed many secrets not perceptible to ordinary mortals.
