New Delhi: Sunday’s Paris Olympics closing ceremony promises a memorable passing of the five rings flag to Los Angeles with Tom Cruise widely predicted to engage in a death-defying stunt on the roof of the Stade de France, according to AFP.
The closing ceremony will be a much shorter affair than the opening and will take place more traditionally at France’s national stadium.
According to artistic director Thomas Jolly, it will combine “wonder” with “dystopia”, suggesting some darker elements than the joyful and impertinent tone of the opening ceremony that drew a record audience of more than a billion worldwide.
One sequence features “travellers from another space-time who arrive on Earth and discover vestiges from the history of the Olympics”, with acrobats restoring the famous five rings of the Games. It will reportedly feature more than 100 dancers, circus artists and other performers, with the promise of aerial displays, giant sets and spectacular lighting, according to the report.
Cruise has been at several Olympic events. US media have reported that Cruise has been preparing a spectacular stunt to pick up the Olympic flag and transfer it to LA, with video sequences already filmed on both sides of the Atlantic, the report added.
