Thomas Jolly, l’homme de l’ombre, directeur artistique de la cérémonie des JO

Jolly est à l'origine de l'idée de recréer la Cène de Jésus avec des drag-queens, qui mettait en scène un Schtroumpf bleu presque nu et une drag-queen exposant son testicule à côté d'un jeune enfant « tout le monde dout se sentir représenté »

Paris Olympics 2024: A Celebration of Unexpected Success

From the opening ceremony to all the little changes during the events— from coups de batons to bell ringing by the champions — the event screamed out that it was unique, extraordinary, and French.

Another Summer Olympics has come to an end, and what a fabulous extravaganza it was! Despite the weather trying to ruin the opening ceremony, it was a celebration of the international camaraderie, and as we recap the magical memories we will take away from the events, it’s one point I must admit: this wasn’t another Olympic Games, and Paris broke many stereotypes. I hope the trend continues, and…

DRAWgust - Day 12: Olympic Committee

[extremelynormalblog]

Best part is there was a documentary about the preparations for the ceremony that aired a few days ago, and the president of the IOC was being explained the concept, and Thomas Jolly is like "So this tableau is called 'Revolution'" and the guy says, "But no guillotine, right??"

And there weren't any guillotines! Technically!!

Gojira at the opening ceremony! 🤘🏼🔥

[braimee]

so as my dear friend @starmaniamania pointed out earlier, Thomas Jolly invited very special guests to be part of the opening ceremony !!

can you spot them??

I’ll help you!

here is Malaika and her awesome hat

here are ( a very blurry ) Maag and her boyfriend!

aaaaaand last but not least…

Côme and Lilya :’))) They’re both pretty blurry and I can’t for the life of me figure out what Côme is wearing but Lilya looks so so so cute!!! I really hope we get some better quality pictures later but for now I’ll take anything

adding something because Malaika posted like 5sec after I made this post

loooooooook!!!

Is Côme actually wearing lipstick or am I going insane????

[starmaniamania]

Hey. Guess who was in the Opening Ceremony, who we didn't expect to be??

That's right. Thomas Jolly put Côme and Lilya in his "Lovers" tableau... Except they didn't actually appear on the live feed 😭

But the knowledge of it is already insane!!

L'artiste « queer » Thomas Jolly a dirigé la cérémonie d'ouverture des Jeux olympiques de Paris. Il est à l'origine de l'idée de recréer la Cène de Jésus avec des drag-queens, qui mettait en scène un Schtroumpf bleu

presque nu et une drag-queen exposant son testicule, une histoire de kiwi quoi, face à de jeunes enfants.

Le directeur artistique a déclaré qu'il voulait que « tout le monde se sente représenté ».

Je voulais inclure tout le monde, hein ? 😂😂😂 bien sûr, bien sûr. Je me souviens d'autres cérémonies d'ouverture des Jeux olympiques et elles ont tendance à être axées sur le sport et sur une promotion pour le pays qui les accueille. Je n'ai rien vu de tout cela à l'écran. Si c'est ça Paris, alors je me sens mal pour leur futur marché du tourisme.

Les commentaires de la presse étrangère m'a guère apprécié la cérémonie de l'ouverture des jeux olympiques. En résumé c'est une promotion pour la communauté lgbtq

Fun fact, the flame is actually not fire! In order to be more sustainable they invented a light and water-based device that simulates fire so perfectly you can't tell the difference, but it doesn't release carbon into the atmosphere for 2 weeks.

Gorszyć kołtuna

Thomas Jolly odpowiedzialny za część artystyczną otwarcia paryskiej olimpiady, powtarza nie wiadomo już po raz który, że nie zainspirował się wcale tak zwaną „Ostatnią Wieczerzą” (za którą nota bene do dziś nie wiadomo kto zapłacił, kto sponsorował popijawę Jezusa z kumplami), ale jest to rzucanie grochem o ścianę, bo nawiedzonych i zafiksowanych na jakimś punkcie katoli, nikt nie…

"This Is My Body": What is the Olympics' "Last Supper" Controversy Really About?

The Opening Ceremonies controversy was not about Leonardo vs. Jan van Bijlert, Mount Olympus vs. the Upper Room, pagan vs. Christian, Jesus vs. Apollo. It was about who gets to sit at Love’s table.

Paolo Veronese, Christ in the House of Levi (1573). “The image can be worn down to the point that it is almost invisible, it can be plunged into darkness and disfigured, it can be clear and beautiful, but it does not cease to be.” — Saint Augustine Four hundred and fifty years ago, Paolo Veronese painted his controversial version of the Last Supper for a Venetian monastery. It was hung in the…
