How would you describe what happens in the dance of the lost traveler in The Lion and the Jewel?

Lakunle plays the role of the traveler who gets lost and ends up visiting the village of Ilujinle. At the beginning of the mime scene, the traveler is driving through the jungle when his car suddenly breaks down. After multiple attempts to fix his vehicle, the traveler ends up walking through the jungle. During his journey, he becomes unnerved after encountering a snake and monkey. He begins to chug his whiskey when he hears the voice of a female. He throws his bottle in the direction of the sound and hears a splash, then a scream. The traveler then looks through a clearing in the trees and begins to take multiple pictures. Suddenly, he slips and ends up falling into a pool of water. Sidi then appears on stage wearing a towel as Lakunle follows her out. The traveler is then led by an angry mob to the center of town where Baroka unexpectedly treats him graciously. The Bale holds a feast in the traveler's honor and allows him to take pictures of Sidi. The lost traveler gets drunk during the feast and the villagers send him on his way to end the mime scene.
