Holding a grudge against the IOC is hardly among them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikarus360 Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Looks kinda pbasic, you can tell they cut a lot of the budget compared to Mikiko plan if you look at the simplistic stage where the cauldron is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope it’s cleverly combined with large practical props they can bring into the stadium, performers, costumes, etc. It should add to the ambience like lighting but not be the show itself. One of my favorite scenes where I thought it was used creatively was the Vancouver ceremony with the whales. Not expecting much though, given the setbacks this Olympiad has seen, but still holding out hope for the best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palette86 Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 Quote Fewer than 1,000 may watch Olympic opening ceremony in person The number of people, excluding athletes, allowed to watch the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics in person, might be reduced to fewer than than 1,000, sources with knowledge of the matter said Thursday. The organizers of the Olympics, to be held under a coronavirus state of emergency declared for the Japanese capital, have been continuing coordination to cut back the number of people attending the ceremony at the National Stadium on July 23, the sources said.

PikyoK Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 Interesting concepts. It's great to see that there will be performers on the stage. You could say that these concepts are not explored much as in previous Olympic Ceremonies as the main focus is on the host country's culture and society. I would love to see how they plan the choreography and the artistic direction for the ceremonies; hopefully they'll add some Japanese cultural elements like Mikiko's plan with Japanese video games and anime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikarus360 Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 Seems like the ceremony will be mostly focused in the Pandemic than anything else. Very sad the circumstances forced this to happened but its also understandable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
