| The World Will Be Watchin Being the southern capital of Taiwan, Kaohsiung radiates endless enthusiasm like the sun. It is now ready to let The World Games 2009 illuminate in Kaohsiung.  | | Something to remember -the opening and closing ceremonies of The World Games 2009 Kaohsiung. | Kaohsiung has created many first time experiences through hosting The World Games 2009: it is the first time for The World Games to be held in the tropics, it is the first time for The World Games to be hosted in a Chinese area, and most importantly, Kaohsiung has constructed the world's first solar-powered large-scale open stadium for The World Games. In The World Games 2009, there will be more than 3000 athletes from all over the world gathering in Kaohsiung and more than 40,000 people watching the games live in the venue alongside the audience of the world-wide broadcast on television. Therefore, the organizing committee has called together the elites of large-scale program production and stage technology to form an executive team. With world-renowned performers, it is believed that this will create a whole new page for the history of comprehensive sports events in Taiwan. Kaohsiung City Mayor Chu Chen, who is also the President of the Kaohsiung Organizing Committee (KOC) said that although the budget for the opening and closing ceremonies is limited, Kaohsiung City will take full advantage of the Main Stadium and elements of the Taiwanese spirit to present the distinguishing features of southern Taiwan and aim to show the unique cultural characteristics of Taiwan to the whole world through the opening and closing ceremonies. To achieve this goal, apart from facilitating the existing international resources, performances in the ceremonies also fuse talents of top performing artists from northern and southern Taiwan, to pursue a well-rounded presentation of Taiwan's unique characteristics. For the opening and closing ceremonies, KOC has invited the national treasure Tseg-O Lee, who is the first Japanese-educated professional dancer in Taiwan and is nicknamed "dragonfly grandma" and "grandma dancer" , to work with local performers. Together they will choreograph a brand new show and bring a spectacular performance to the whole world. The opening and closing ceremonies will also include some eco-friendly performances using all types of advanced technology products developed and manufactured in Taiwan, such as LED equipment, electric bicycles, and the visual experiences brought by large-scale projection technology. The ceremonies shall create an unprecedented scientific and technological experience for the audience and will become a topic of discussion among the international guests. In addition, the performances that highlight Taiwanese local culture with a fusion of multi-cultures, such as songs and dances of the aboriginal tribes in Taiwan, traditional hand puppet shows, and various Minnan and Hakka cultural performances will be displayed on the international stage for The World Games 2009. The ceremonies will guarantee a refreshing experience for our guests from all over the world. |
