Brot and games.
brot & salz was responsible for the concept and artistic direction of the 90-minute opening event for the International German Gymnastics Festival on June 3, 2017 in front of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. In addition to the Rio Olympians around symbolic figure Andreas Toba, the show was opened by the President of the German Gymnastics Federation Dr. Alfons Hölzl, the Federal Minister of Economics Brigitte Zypries and the Senator of the Interior of Berlin Andreas Geisel, among others.
Colors of Passion.
"Colors of Passion". The passion for sport and diversity united everyone present - audience and participants alike. At the opening of the International German Gymnastics Festival 2017, visitors to the official opening show were told an exciting and emotional story that anyone who loves sport could identify with. A story of dreams, energy, hope, disappointment, friendship, competition and success.
How colorful is that?
In nine scenes, we took the audience on a sporting journey full of dynamism and action around the world of gymnastics. We saw the world through the eyes of the protagonist on his journey from a child with a dream to a top athlete and fevered, laughed and cried with him. Every sportsman knows the highs and lows of his career. New actors, sports and performance artists awaited us in every scene, artistically translating the mood of the respective scene into impressive performances.
Each scene was immersed in its own world of color, which was taken from the colors of the gymnastics festival logo, and which erupted in a bombastic, interactive explosion of color for the grand finale.
The show conceived by brot & salz celebrated the big and small emotions of sport. Its unifying power, its diversity and the passion it awakens in us.
