It will really be the desire to overcome every type of limit to characterise tonight’s show, the Opening Ceremony of the IX Paralympic Winter Games of Torino.
In the almost two hours of choreographies, light games, parades and protocols, athletes, personalities, Institutions representatives, and thousands of spectators will interact to give life to a unique, great message to the world: the need and the possibility of knocking down any type of barrier, from the logistic and practical ones to the psychological and organisational ones.
Sport, not only represents an occasion to be together or a therapeutic moment, it is a real occasion for daily challenge.
The singer Ligabue, the mountaineer and writer Reinhold Messner and the pilot Alex Zanardi will be the great protagonists of the show and, thanks to their experience, also the testimonials of this message of hope.
During the evening there will be the performance of “Dance Ability”, a dance technique practiced by able bodied people as well as by people with a disability that allows dancers with different physical possibilities to dance together, a “pas de deux” between the dancers Simona Atzori, with a disability, and Luca Alberti, able bodied. And then technology, with most innovative show ever staged in Italy, a moment in which music and light will join in a crescendo of colours to celebrate the knocking down of barriers.
