PARAPAN AMERICAN GAMES OPENING CEREMONY WILL REMAIN IN PEOPLE’S HEARTS

Friendship as the driving force of an entire staging and courage, equality, inspiration and determination, as the Parapan American values, are the main characteristics that will contain the spectacular Lima 2019 Parapan American Games Opening Ceremony, tomorrow, August 23, starting at 19:00 in the National Stadium.

There will be 50 people with impairments who will be part of the Peruvian crew that consists of 500 members, all starring in this show of lights, color, sound and, above all, vibrant sensations.

Friendship (Olympic value), as the central axis of the presentation, will show us two minors, separated by different circumstances, who meet up again thanks to sport and their courage, in the middle of a set of situations that highlights the rich and millennial Peruvian history. As part of the proposal, Peruvians will find familiar motives to be proud of, such as the Nazca Lines or the quipus.

All this will become more visible when the more than 1800 Para athletes, sitting in front of the stage as spectators, are incorporated into the stage as active protagonists of the ceremony.

This emotional story will reach high levels of emotion when combined in a perfect way with the spectacle of lights, music and costumes that will make completely understandable what we are perceiving: pure Peru.

WORLD-CLASS SHOW

Not only the presence of the renowned Spanish creative director Hansel Cereza, but also that of his outstanding compatriot and mass choreographer, Barbarana Pons, musical director José “Chick” Aguirre, and the tropical fusion band Bareto ensures a top-level show that will remain in the hearts of the world.

It is enough to remember that José “Chick” Aguirre has musicalized great Peruvian cinematographic hits such as “Guerrero” and “Siete Semillas”.  As for Pepe Corzo, costume director, he has worked with 500 colorful suits made with 100% Peruvian materials.

The closing of the show will be a tribute to Peruvian musical origins. With their performance on stage, Bareto promise to put a lot of flavor to the cold night of Lima, whit great musical hits such as “Mujer Hilandera”, “El abuelo”, “Quiero amanecer”, “No juegue con el diablo” and “Cariñito”, with which they will raise the temperature to the maximum level in the beloved Peruvian National Stadium.
