What to expect from the Opening Ceremony
6:30am ET: Director Zhang Yimou says video technology is going to be one of our protagonists this morning, aiming for “ethereal and romantic” scenes as obviously there will not be the mass of live human performers that made Beijing 2008 so memorable. The slogan of these games, “Together for a shared future” should inform visuals that reflect the world’s challenges and triumphs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
