#1 SUPPORTING ARTS AND CULTURE

ART AND CULTURE PERFECTLY REFLECT OUR VALUES, PARTICULARLY

OPENNESS AND RESPONSIBILITY. IT IS A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE THAT ALLOWS PEOPLE

TO MEET, SHARE ACROSS BORDERS, CONFRONT THEIR IDEAS, WAKE UP

CONSCIENCE, EDUCATE, LEARN, INNOVATE

AND JOIN FORCES TO CONNECT WITH OTHERS.

It is essential to protect and commemorate our cultural heritage, to enable youngsters to discover their elders, to support young talents and creativity, to invite foreign artists to Mauritius and to promote Mauritian artists abroad.

For this reason, Currimjee Jeewanjee and Company Limited has been supporting and promoting Art and Culture within its sponsorship strategy for years.

After the success of the art exhibition set in Le Grenier for PORLWI by Nature, the exhibition dedicated to Serge Constantin for his 100th anniversary, “Analogies & Correspondences” in the honour of the painters Roger Charoux and Jocelyn Thomasse, CJ actively supported three main activities in 2018: “Le Caudan Live”, “La Veuve Joyeuse” and “Une Nation, Un Destin”.

CONNECTING WITH PEOPLEEvents

LE CAUDAN LIVE

The first event was the sponsorship of Le Caudan Live – a series of contests divided into five different categories – organised to celebrate the opening of the Caudan Arts Centre. With the aim of supporting artistic creativity, CJ chose to sponsor the music contest to help to discover talented Mauritian musicians and singers. Over a period of several weeks, Mauritians were invited to vote for their favourite through social networks. The event was an absolute success.

LA VEUVE JOYEUSE

CJ also sponsored the world famous operetta, “La Veuve Joyeuse”, which delivered several performances in Mauritius in October 2018. The play, which displays a degree of orchestral and melodic refinement rarely attained in operetta, was produced by Opera Mauritius and Gerard Sullivan, and was performed by 60 Mauritian singers and 53 German musicians from Musikakademie der Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes.

UNE NATION, UN DESTIN

In celebration of Mauritius’ 50th Independence anniversary, CJ supported ION News in the production of a series of 50 videos which portrayed how Mauritians recalled the historical moment the island gained its independence on the 12th of March 1968. It also analyses how the country has moved forward since then.
