| Summary |
The Hira Gasy is a family of troubadours, who travel the great plateau of Madagascar, earning a living at country fairs, second burials, and ancestral spirit ceremonies. In brightly-colored costumes they perform satirical plays about all aspects of Madagascan life. But their audience are not just human, they perform for the ancestors too, for the troupe are both popular entertainers and musical intermediaries between the earthbound and the ancestral spirit world |
