Behind the scenes of the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris was the scene of true artistic prowess. Indeed, the seamstresses competed in talent to make the costumes which will light up the Stade de France on Sunday evening. These creations, numbering 120, are all made from recycled materials, with ecological and creative concerns.
Designer Kevin Germanier, at the origin of this ecological initiative, drew his inspiration from unexpected materials. VHS tapes unearthed in his mother’s house in Switzerland found a second life in the ornaments of the costumes. Damaged or broken beads and used textiles were rehabilitated to embody the spirit of the closing ceremony.
This eco-design approach is not trivial: it demonstrates a desire to raise public awareness of the importance of preserving the environment, even in artistic fields. The costumes, far from being simple ceremonial pieces, carry a strong message about the reuse of resources and innovation in fashion.
The ceremony itself promises to be grandiose, with more than a hundred dancers, acrobats and circus artists who will perform on the stage of the Stade de France. Under the leadership of renowned artistic director Thomas Jolly, the show promises to be a vibrant tribute to the Olympic spirit and to all humanity.
The symbolism of this closing ceremony lies in its universal message: that of unity and diversity, represented by the multiplicity of talents and cultures present on stage. The event aims to reflect the richness and solidarity that animate the Olympic Games, far from borders and competitions, to celebrate the harmony and communion of peoples.
All lovers of art and entertainment are invited to attend this exceptional event, which will mark the end in style to this edition of the Olympic Games. See you this Sunday evening, to dive into the heart of a creative and inspiring universe, where recycling echoes rebirth, and diversity shines in all its splendor.
