00:00On the 30th of September, we have the opening ceremony of Expo 2020 Dubai.
00:11It's going to be an absolute spectacular performance, immersive projection, beautiful music, something
00:17the world has never seen before.
00:19The opening ceremony is just a breathtaking experience.
00:22It's not something that I can explain through words.
00:25It's a sensory experience.
00:26It is something that you will only feel it when you actually watch it.
00:32It has a sensory experience of smell.
00:35You can watch something marvelous and something will trigger you inside.
00:39Something that will make you feel that you will be ready to change the world.
00:43We believe that the Expo 2020 Dubai opening ceremony is going to be the opening ceremony
00:48of the century.
00:50And hopefully it will be the global celebration of walking out of COVID-19, where the spirit
00:58of hope and optimism will be the overarching experience and spirit of everything that will
01:06happen around.
01:07The story behind the opening ceremony revolves around the essence of what Expo stands for
01:16and how it is relevant to Dubai.
01:18It is also relevant to the association of the past and the future.
01:23And it is, again, an experience that the world hasn't seen before in terms of the number
01:30of creative minds and capable technical people that work together in order to produce this
01:37event in this format, whether for the live audience or for broadcast.
01:41Our show is broken into three segments.
01:45We have a lot of official protocols that we need to do during the ceremony, which are
01:49actually really touching, beautiful moments of the show.
01:53And we also have amazing creative that really aligns with Expo's core themes, covering sustainability,
02:01opportunity and mobility.
02:03So there's going to be a lot of headline acts that will be featuring in the ceremony, as
02:08well as around a thousand performing cast and crew.
02:11The performing cast and crew have come from all over the UAE, as well as some international
02:16professional cast.
02:18But we're incredibly proud, particularly of our Emirati performers participating in the
02:22opening ceremony.
02:24For a lot of them, the first time that they'll ever have had the opportunity to do something
02:27like this on the world stage.
02:29So we're looking forward to seeing them in action.
02:31I meet different nationalities, different knowledge, different, you know, mentalities.
02:36And then we're friends, like we have family here.
02:39And that's what I like.
02:40So as well, like when you're doing this kind of job, meeting with new people, that you
02:44can learn extra experiences.
02:46What we wanted to achieve at the end is that when we come together, you will see the perfect
02:52future in front of you.
02:53I don't want to take away of what's happening in the last scene, but it's a breathtaking
02:57experience that you don't want to leave Al-Wasl Plaza.
