Auckland Arts Festival: The Breath of the Volcano .... The world-renowned pyrotechnic performance maestros, Groupe F (France), have created a brilliant new show especially for Auckland and Auckland Arts Festival 2013 - The Breath of the Volcano. For three magical nights from 7 - 9 March, the Auckland Domain and Museum will be the backdrop for this spectacular world premiere from the artists who create miracles with projection, fire and light. Founded in 1990 by pyrotechnics visionary Christophe Berthonneau, Groupe F is a collective of some of the world's most masterful pyrotechnic artists, widely acknowledged for their spectacular open-air performances at some of the world's largest festivals, and their jaw-dropping pyrotechnic displays. They have lit up the Eiffel Tower, the Stade de France for the Football World Cup, the London Eye and the Palace of Versailles. They've been a sparkling presence at momentous celebrations around the globe, from the opening of the world's tallest tower, Burj Khalifa in Dubai, to the Barcelona Olympics. The Company is currently artist-in-residence at Avignon Festival.
