Gerewol Festival

The Gerewol Festival in Chad. There is no public transport, so it's almost impossible to go there alone. This festival is held at the end of the rainy season in early October, where the men of the village dance and the two women choose a man to be their partner at the end of the festival. During the hot hours of the day, they danced in a circle under the trees (sometimes they danced even though no women were watching), and from around evening they danced in a row. They danced all night and you could hear their singing from inside the tent. I went to see it at around 4:30am the day after the last day of the festival, and they were still dancing in the dark, and the distance between the dancers and the audience was suddenly closer, so I think it's a recommended time to go see it.
