Closing ceremony of Paris Olympics
August 2024
I had the privilege of performing as an acrobat and dancer in the closing ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, under the artistic direction of Thomas Jolly. The show, titled “Records”, took spectators on a journey through time, from the ancient roots of the Olympics to a visionary future using acrobatics, dance, and grand theatrical spectacle.
We used giant Olympic rings, that rose from the ground and transformed into our acrobatic structures. We climbed, balanced, and moved through them as they rotated and glowed under the stadium lights. From inside the structure, surrounded by sound, color, and 80,000 people, it felt like being at the center of the world.
Sharing the stage with hundreds of acrobats, dancers, and musicians was exhilarating. The scale of the performance, the energy of the audience, and the the level of perfection we needed to reach made this experience unique.
