Hello Social marks FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 arrival with choreographed air, land, sea stunts
Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia have marked the “Two and Three Days to Go” countdown to the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 respectively with breath-taking simultaneous stunts featuring moving First Nations cultural performances.
On Monday 17 July, Aotearoa New Zealand celebrated “Three Days to Go” with an acrobatic skydive and aerial flag display over Auckland / Tāmaki Makaurau, landing in Eden Park with a karanga and pōwhiri ceremony, the traditional Māori welcome.
The stunt, performed by Aotearoa New Zealand skydiver and NZ record holder Brent Findlay, saw a 17 metre long FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 flag parachuted from 18,000 feet above Auckland / Tāmaki Makaurau’s panoramic skyline into Eden Park.
The flag landing, symbolic of the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 touching down in Aotearoa New Zealand, was welcomed into Eden Park by Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, which performed a powerful display of unity and inclusivity.
On Tuesday 18 July, Brisbane/Meaanjin celebrated “Two Days to Go” with the arrival of a giant 20 metre FIFA Unity Jersey and the official FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 mascot Tazuni via boat on the Brisbane River.
Tazuni then made her way to Brisbane Stadium where she was greeted with a Corroboree performance by Traditional Owners and Custodians of Brisbane, the Turrbal Tribe.
Both stunts were captured by aerial production teams including FPV drones and have been broadcast globally via media and FIFA social channels.
The latest work marks Hello Social’s continued success in earned, integrated and non-traditional activity.
