Told in the form of a travel notebook, the story follows the steps of a Western traveler who is brought face to face with the Malagasy customs and rituals, especially the Famadihana, the ritual of the turning of the bones. The pages turn, the drawings come to life, and the luxuriant landscapes of Madagascar appear one after another. The celebrations may commence… The jumble of half-finished looking sketches and images across multiple styles recreates that sometimes overwhelming sense of being fully present and stimulated, which one gets when placed in such a rich, yet foreign environment.
