We would like to show you some pictures from the dress rehearsal of the adult dance group on the Tapati Fest stage in Hanga Vare Vare (Easter Island).
A month before the festival, dance groups were formed in the categories of children, youth and adults, and began rehearsals at the school (because there is a large hall) and in the sports hall from Monday to Friday.
During the Tapatifest, the dancers wear their beautiful costumes that they made themselves and show their choreographies with great emotion, energy and joy, as you could see on the previous posts.
Later, at the same venue in Hanga Vare Vare held other competitions, which can also be seen in the photos: Making traditional hats "Maroke", making flower crowns and shell necklaces, carving "paoa" and "rei miro".
It is a wonderful festival, alcohol-free, great organization, also from many sustainable points of view, such as waste separation with hundreds of dedicated participants. All connected to their culture, island and traditions like never before!
We are very proud that our natural cosmetics brand Anakena was born here.
