Second Stage, New Britain. North, Rabaul, a town evacuated in 1994 due to the eruption of this volcano you see below. Ash accumulate constantly, giving an aspect lunar landscapes.









But I'm not in New Britain for its volcano. The Baining people practice fire dances as part of initiation rites. I have the chance to attend one of them.

At the same time some twenty singers rhythm to the movements of a beautiful song, punctuated by bamboo hit the ground.
These dancers are willing to give me these masks at the end of the rite.
