Multivision: New Zealand

Green rainforests, long white sandy beaches, towering snow-capped mountains and volcanic cones in a wide landscape. Kia Ora New Zealand documents the contrasting country at the most beautiful end of the world. In no other country except Switzerland did Filipponi spend more time than in New Zealand, where he once lived. For this new reportage, he traveled another six months to the land of the Kiwis. His new stage program, 33 years after his first New Zealand multivision.

The South Island is characterized by the central Southern Alps mountain massif, which rises up to 3,700 meters high, lonely roads on the wild, rugged west coast. The huge Fiordland National Park captivates with its forests, lakes and fjords or sounds, as they are called in New Zealand. Gentle bands of clouds move over the sloping highlands on the east coast with immeasurably large herds of grazing and on the Pacific coast with dolphins and whales.

On the North Island, he travels along miles of sandy beaches and through dense, subtropical rainforests, past striking volcanic mountains, active thermal springs, lush fruit plantations and encounters Maori culture. Again, he brought back many personal stories. He had arranged to meet the wine queen of New Zealand at a Maori radio station, on oyster farms, kiwifruit plantations, and met many other hospitable Kiwis, the inhabitants of New Zealand.

The Winterthur travel photographer and storyteller presents this and much more in his multivision photo reportage in his usual skilful lecture style. Spectators are once again well entertained and amazed and are fascinated by what the country at the most beautiful end of the world has to offer.
