Guaranteed to be just as powerful as the „records” that have everything you need. Tony Estanguet, Paris 2024 President
On August 11, the Stade de France will be transformed into a grand concert hall. Featuring more than a hundred performers, acrobats, dancers and circus performers, the show will be under the signature of artistic director Thomas Jolly. The original soundtrack, new interpretations, musical performances and the participation of world-famous singers will complement the film. Part of the show takes place in the air, while giant sets, costumes and spectacular lighting effects take the audience on a journey into the past and future.
The traditional highlights of the closing ceremony, such as the flag raising of nations, the athletes’ parade and the handing over of the Olympic flag to the Los Angeles 2028 Organizing Committee, will all provide memorable moments.
For this exceptional show, Thomas Jolly has surrounded himself with a talented team: Kevin Germanier (Designer), Kevin Vives (Choreographer), Antoine Travert (Lighting Designer), Clement Mirgut (Composer), Emmanuelle Favre (Set Designer), Sammy Geroghi (Assistant Director ), Maud Le Blatec (Choreographer), Victor Le Massenet (Music Director) and Daphne Bourgi (Styling and Costume Director.)
