Adrian Young—known as Daddy Jumbie—transcends the physical act of stilt walking, embodying the living spirit of Moko with each step he takes. This short film captures the unique rhythm, grace, and quiet magic woven into his movements, offering a glimpse into a sacred tradition carried through blood, memory, and dream. More than performance, Adrian’s walk becomes ritual—an elevation of spirit that connects the earthly to the ancestral, revealing Moko not just as a towering figure, but as a living, breathing force within.
