The opening ceremony of the World Nomad Games took place at Bishkek Arena, the largest stadium in Central Asia. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.
The grand and well-executed show captivated social media. Kursiv LifeStyle learned the details.
Kazakhstani Team Involvement
The Kazakhstani team Wakeuphana, led by director Andrey Khvan, participated in organizing the ceremony. The show was prepared over about a year. Viewers noted finely crafted stage moves, such as when nomads on horses first gallop through huge corridors on a large screen and then appear on stage.
Additionally, Kazakhstani companies were involved in the technical and visual parts of the project. Upstage handled the technical part, and Filmotion handled the graphics.
Special Attention from Viewers
A huge snow leopard and a bird attracted special attention from users for their scale and flawless execution.
About 2,000 dancers from WakeUp Camp, a project uniting participants from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Russia, took part in the show.
Social Media Reaction
On social media, Russian-speaking users from different countries admire the opening of the games: in comments, compliments to Kyrgyzstan were left by Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Belarusians, and Russians; some expressed a desire to come to the Nomad Games next year.
"What is this, I want to see it in person, does it happen every year?"
"There has never been such a grand performance. My heart skips a beat with pride, the highest level, bravo, bravissimo"
"Yes, I also think it's better than the Olympic Games. Our beauties, thank you for such a best opening of the Nomad Games," users wrote.
