Manawa Ecstatic Dance, Live Sythesizer, Field Equations, DJ Pierro Lunaire & Mako T, 6.45 - 9.30pm, 21.11.25
Ecstatic Dance is a free-form movement practice — no steps, no talking, no judgment. It’s a journey guided by music, where your body leads the way. Some come to release stress, some to express emotions, and others simply to feel alive again. Everyone is welcome, no matter your age, experience, or background.
“I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first came to Manawa Ecstatic Dance.
Honestly, I almost didn’t go — I was nervous about dancing in front of strangers. But the moment I arrived, I felt completely at ease. No one was watching or judging, everyone was just moving in their own way. About halfway through, my mind quieted and my body began to move freely. I felt something shift — lighter, freer, more connected than I had in a long time.”

“Everything is frequency. I take that frequency, and add reverb to it” - Nemo
DJ Pierro Lunaire is a French multi-instrumentalist, electronic music producer, and DJ whose work is steeped in both curiosity and wanderlust. After spending two transformative years in Berlin studying electronic music, he set out to explore the world, gathering inspiration from diverse cultures, landscapes, and traditions. Along the way, he has woven ancient instruments, tribal percussion, and organic textures into deep, hypnotic electronic soundscapes.
For the past four years, Pierro has been crafting a nomadic project that bridges the primal pulse of ancient rhythms with the forward momentum of future beats. His sets are more than just music — they are immersive journeys that invite dancers to lose themselves in the moment, traveling through time, place, and emotion on the dance floor. Whether in intimate gatherings or under the open sky, Pierro Lunaire’s music is a call to connect, to move, and to remember the timeless language of rhythm.
Mako T is an Italian-born singer and musician based in New Zealand. Always immersed in the world of music, after exploring the deepest layers of his being through meditation and conscious breathing, he chose to express his emotions through the voice as a channel of connection within and beyond himself. After a few years of vocal study, he began performing on the streets as a busker to share his authentic self with people, while also carrying forward musical projects in his homeland.
