From a family of Russian emigres based in Paris, Nicolai Michoutouchkine set out travelling in the Near and Middle East, India and South East Asia in 1953. After a period of conscription and work in New Caledonia, Michoutouchkine settled in Port Vila in 1961 with Aloi Piloko, a Futuna Islander artist.
