The city of lights illuminated into a dazzling spectra once again as the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games kicked off in grand fashion with a breath-taking opening ceremony here, today.
The ceremony began with a ‘Discord’ segment featuring 140 dancers representing ‘Strict Society’ and 16 performers known as the ‘Creative Gang’ moved in a joyful, liberated, and creative manner which highlighted a society claiming inclusivity but failing to truly integrate people with disabilities. They were clad in olive green with golden motifs coloured Baju Melayu Teluk Belanga paired with songkok and sampin , and Baju Kurung , designed by renowned local fashion designer, Rizman Ruzaini.
As the French President Emmanuel Macron declared the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games open from the official stand, the ‘Strict Society’ and the ‘Creative Gang’ came together once again in the grand choreographed show, blending dance, sport, and art into a fictional game that focused on teamwork. The cauldron consisting of a ring of fire seven metres in diameter, topped by a balloon 30 metres high and 22 metres in diameter was designed as a tribute to the first flight in a hydrogen balloon-made from the Jardin des Tuileries, here, in December 1783 by two French inventors - Jacques Alexander Charles and Nicholas Louis Robert.
