This was perhaps the first time in Olympics History that its French organizers articulated a combined display of their artistic cultural show, side by making it an opening of a Olympic season or perhaps the vice-versa; but whichever way it all sounds thrilling and creative full of enthusiasm and immense zeal of proud and affection towards root Kinship. Some of these displays depicted French Cultural Legacy as below (pictures attached):
The headless woman: She was Queen Marie Antoinette. She ruled over France and was found guilty of treason, conspiracy, and stealing from the country.
The Last Supper: It was a depiction of an ancient Greek Bacchanal, well linking roots of Olympics to ancient Greek, the orginator of Olympics. A Bacchanalia is an uncontrollably promiscuous, extravagant, and loud party which often span several days, beleived to honour the creator of wine, Bacchus (the blue guy covered in grape vine). He is also known as Dionysus, the Greek god of fertility, later known as the god of wine and pleasure.
The Death of a Pale Horse: It was Sequana, Goddess of the Seine, the River in which the boat precession took place. She was meant to be the representation of the Olympic spirit and of Sequana.
Sounds crazy and spurious, no?
