The Fire Dancers
One of the more spectacular experiences you will witness in our Escape from Rabaul and Return to Rabaul journey's is the Baining Fire Dance.This ancient practice is unique to the Baining Mountains region of East New Britain and involves an elaborate combination of costumes, masks, body paint, music, dance and of course fire. Typically held in the village common area, the Fire Dance involves men and women from all ages. The actual Fire Dance only involves the men of the village. A large bonfire is built and fueled until a large bed of fire and coals is established. In rhythm to the chants and sining of the accompanying dancers the men and their incredible masks and costumes dance in and through the fire long into the night.
