Thomas Jollythe artistic director of the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games, plans to propose an opening ceremony next Friday to celebrate “diversity”as told this Friday to the AFP agency.
The four authors of this ceremony, among them the novelist Leïla Slimani and the historian Patrick Boucheron, promise “the opposite of a gun and heroic story”, in a show that will destroy the “clichés ” with “humor” and will go beyond the ” popular traditional philosophical values that France shows willingly and sometimes too confidently”, which provokes criticism in France.
“An inauguration ceremony that everyone wants to celebrate… except France?”, asked the right-wing newspaper Le Figaro on Friday. When asked about these criticisms, Thomas Jolly responded: “Diversity is universal. This is a reality with which we can work or we can be hermetic. But this secret is not connected with the truth,” he said.
Its purpose ands “offers a celebration that should be shared by as many people as possible”. “In this larger number, there is a diversity that I think is very rich,” he stressed to ensure that “more of us want to live together in this diversity, in this diversity, but let’s not be loud. “I will adopt the motto ‘liberty, equality, fraternity,'” he said.
In September 2023, the opening ceremony of the Rugby World Cup in France, which “celebrates the French art of living”, according to its co-author Jean Dujardin, is considered bad. The actor played a baker from the 1950s, with a white sweater on his back and a cap on his head.
Before reporters, Thomas Jolly pointed that out “98%” of your show will be “live”, with “2% pre-recorded sequences, linked to the buildings we will enter.” “There are settings that are very beautiful from the outside, but I really want to put my head a little bit inside some emblematic buildings,” he said.
In the 3h45 show, there will be about two-thirds of the natural light at “sunset”. The final third, at night, will be performed by Thomas Dechandon, who designed the lights in the musical version “Starmania” Thomas Jolly, the artistic director told AFP.
When asked if there would be a submarine in the Seine, Thomas Jolly replied “I want to explore everything at my disposal.”
