About the Season
Between February and November 2007, a line-up of the best artists and athletes from New Caledonia will tour New Zealand to appear in around 50 of the country's leading arts and cultural festivals and sports events.
The "New Caledonia New Zealand Season 2007" is an initiative funded by the Government and Provinces of New Caledonia, and France through the Fonds Pacifique, and aims to lift the profile in New Zealand of New Caledonia — our closest neighbour. It will give New Zealanders an insight into the points of similarity and difference between our countries and our cultures, bring about closer cultural relations between the two countries, and build enduring links with New Zealand organisations and institutions.
Season Directors Carla van Zon and Briony Ellis have selected the artists, musicians, dancers, writers, athletes and sportspeople who will perform or compete in New Zealand, and have created a programme that will appeal to a broad range of New Zealanders.
We hope you join us — discover and experience the riches of New Caledonia, here in New Zealand during 2007.
