One of several films made by Paul Fejos in Madagascar.
This film shows a series of remarkable dances performed by the Bara people of southern Madagascar, contrasting these with the “miserable spectacle” of acculturated Bara and Antanosy dancing a French quadrille wearing pith helmets and fedoras, and European-style clothes.
Text : Andersen (2017)
