WANANAVU! 🇫🇯🇳🇿

New Zealand High Commissioner to Fiji Greg Andrews met with VOU Dance (Fiji) Pte Ltd Director Sachiko Soro following the successful Fijian Flying Circus New Zealand Tour earlier this year.

The Fijian Flying Circus marked its first New Zealand tour, which saw 15 Fijian artists perform in Aotearoa, combining Pacific storytelling with contemporary circus.

The tour recorded multiple sold-out performances at the Wellington Fringe Festival and the highest single-day ticket sales at its largest outdoor venue.

Each performance concluded with a Fiji–New Zealand singalong, connecting audiences through shared cultural experience and Kiwi music.

On 25 April, New Zealanders around the world remember the sacrifices of those who have served in conflicts, peacekeeping missions, and humanitarian operations around the world.

Today is a day to commemorate those who have experienced war and conflict: our veterans, our armed services personnel, families of the fallen, and our refugee communities. To honour the contribution of those who have served, and those who continue to serve. We will remember them.
