Giant monumental projections on the tree and field of play, original choreographies and musical performances were combined to create a show exploring the theme of the universal elements from which mankind draws its strength and life force. The 3-hour-long Ceremony ended with a spectacular pyrotechnic display, launched from the Olympic Stadium.
