Return to the Gods of the Past - More Headlessness at the Paris Olympics
The five continents were presented as fragile world, full of fog and dust, artificial and mysterious. The Olympic rings were transformed into a kind of astral portal that was opened.
A "Golden Voyager" with two horns and a bird's head landed on the deserted earth. The costume was made of 20.000 glittering pearls, shining like a sun. His explorers were cloaked figures, faceless and in grey costumes.
Shortly after the "Golden Voyager" descended into the stadium, Benjamin Bernheim, a French tenor, sang a "Hymn to Apollo". It was accompanied by the Swiss pianist Alain Roche, who played his instrument suspended in the air.
The Golden Voyager greeted a decapitated one-winged statue called the Winged Victory of Samothrace. This statue rose into the sky while the golden horned figure looked on.
