Synopsis


Sound immersion on Easter Island, now officially named “Rapa Nui”, after the native Polynesian people who settled there. It is one of the most isolated inhabited islands in the world, lost thousands of kilometers between Tahiti and the Chilean coast. A volcanic land beaten by the winds and waves of the Pacific Ocean, it is home to many myths and is populated by stone giants: the moai. A few steps on this magnetic and mysterious land, between sacred and intimate, to capture its pulse.

A word from Tënk


Rapa Nui, an island lost in the Pacific. Stone giants populate it. Mystical stories envelop it. Mysterious vibrations cradle it.

 

Sound artist Sophie Berger continues to capture the world with her own unique approach and keen ear. A romantic musical composition infiltrates the magnificent sound recordings to paint a sensitive fresco of the exterior and interior landscapes of this distant land.
