The closing ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris sparked some controversy, following in the footsteps of the opening ceremony, which caused a sharp attack due to “inappropriate” performances.
France concluded the Olympic Games on Sunday evening, in a ceremony held at Saint-Denis Stadium in Paris.
A number of fans attacked France's insistence on using "strange creatures" and "suspicious messages" during its shows, which moved away from sports, according to many.
But the strangest shot was the appearance of a "strange being", covered in thorns and gold, and described by some as a being that expresses evil, and it was not comfortable in its appearance, especially at a party that was supposed to be cheerful.
But the organizing committee explained the appearance of the strange “golden object”.
According to the “NBC” website, the character is inspired by a number of references from the historical heritage of France, which is a gilded bronze statue that was cast in 1836. This metaphorical statue represents “Liberty” and tops the July Column located in the middle of Place de la Bastille in Paris. .
According to the concert's artistic directors, another inspiration was the "Golden Voyager" capsule, a capsule launched into space in 1977 by the American spacecraft Voyager, which inspired the concert's title and character's name.
This capsule contained a "golden record", which functioned as a time message in interstellar space and included "greetings from human civilization", and was made in France.
