Easter Island(2020)
Nightly Entertainment during Tapati Rapa Nui
Index
South America
February 2020
A stage was located at Hanga Vare Vare
The backdrop was a 3D arrangement of the Queens of the Festival from 1971 to the present
The two main clans of the island nominate a woman as leader of their team
The teams earn points by winning the various competitions (athletic, cultural & artistics)
The leader of the winning team is then crowned Queen
Entertainment consists of traditional music
and dances in native Rapa Nui costume


Hundreds of performers were on stage at once
We had to arrive early to get a good seat
 
   

 

All ages participated in these productions. The youngest were 4 years old
It was most difficult to get a seat close to the stage when children's groups were on the program
Parents & family members arrived VERY early
