The logo of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games is displayed on the front of an official store. The opening ceremony will consist of twelve scenes, according to Thierry Reboul, executive director of ceremonies, creations, and special projects at Paris 2024. The parade of athletes will pass through these twelve scenes, with the ceremony unfolding as the parade progresses from one scene to another. Reboul also mentioned that a story will be told to spectators and viewers, focusing on France.
During the ceremony on the Seine, the story will highlight France’s history and values. Reboul emphasized the importance of discussing the country’s values and beliefs, despite any doubts or questions that may arise. The event is expected to showcase the cultural significance of France and its landmarks.
Reboul described the ceremony as a “total spectacle,” comparing it to a film that unfolds second by second on television. The preparation involves storyboards and sketches that outline the visual sequence of the event, tailored for a television audience. The ceremony aims to capture the essence of France’s history and values through a visually captivating performance.
