During an exorcism in Ethiopia priests intervene and perform exorcisms on behalf of those believed to be afflicted by demons. Possessed persons are brought to a church or prayer meeting. Often, when an ill person has not responded to modern medical treatment, the affliction is attributed to demons. Unusual or especially perverse deeds, particularly when performed in public, are symptomatic of a demoniac. Dialogue with the spirit is an important part of the exorcism ceremony. It helps the exorcist to know how the spirit was operating in the life of the demoniac. The signs and events mentioned by the spirit are affirmed by the victim after deliverance

The sounds used were recorded in Ethiopia in 2012 and edited in Copenhagen 2016
