About Mat Jenin
Mat Jenin is a coconut picker that is usually used as a cautionary tale or fable. He is often portrayed as a daydreamer or lazy farmer, giving in to his delusions of grandeur. He forgets his current reality and falls off a tree he is climbing. Is there a way we can reimagine Mat Jenin’s otherwise tragic tale?
