FOOTBALL WORLD CUP
OPENING & CLOSING CEREMONIES
For the Opening Ceremony, ECA2 transformed the Stade de France into a magical garden to create unique games ceremonies.
Fantastic and colourful “insects” performed around and above giant buds that bloomed to reveal flowers that concealed giant footballs within their petals.
For the Closing Ceremony, fire-dancers on stilts lit up the arena while a pyrotechnic display launched from the Stadium roof gave the illusion that the venue was about to fly away into Paris’ skies.
