In your Face; the Theater of the Absurd at the French Olympics.

What to make of the opening ceremony at the French Olympics? While in no way shape or form spectacular it was in fact its opposite. A huge 3D unsettling spectacle; which you can just take to read as not good.

The whole circus was both a theater of the absurd; and a scandal.

If every picture tells a story this was one sordid tale. There was the hubris, the in-your-face debauchery, the usual mocking of the gods and the dissing of what is sacred. A shocking pointer of revolution French style added to the shady line up.

What struck me was this; it was the worship of the self-writ-large.

Yet people are already trying to justify this bull as they are always wont to do which proves they know jack.

Get this, it is not a story but a message. Symbolism has meaning it is what lies behind it that should concern you.

This ceremony was a show and tell on those who are in charge and it let us know exactly who and what they are.

The production itself is indicative of culture rot; and although the two do overlap clearly there is more going on.

If you pay attention you will hear the voice of the overlords and what it is they trying to tell you.

They saying we the masters of the universe we invincible; and so what if you don’t like what you see in front of you. You are our captives.

With every scene they give the nations of the world and a certain God the bird. It looks like one big I dare you from where I stand. Bring it on hey? Talk about tempting fate.

In prophecy they go from uppity to begging the rocks to fall on them to hide them from the wrath of the One who is to come. Strange, are they being led by some giant invisible hand at this point.

As if to prove the point there are all those images of the end times; just what is that all about? Behold a pale horse but this one has wings. As the haters of a certain faith they certainly nurse an obsession that is diabolical in kind.

Then a drag-queen Jesus and other malcontents sit at a table and have a meal. Oh wait it is meant to be The Last Supper.

What is it about queers and this religion? They love to hate it?

Then there is a depiction of a headless Marie Antoinette, yes there is. What are they mirroring here? Does this speak of a political revolution being played out that we don’t know of yet? Maybe it is global or confined to a certain country. Is this the swansong for the US?

Think that’s just dramatic. The Olympic Opening ceremony featured a hot air balloon flying over a beaten up Statue of Liberty, its flame of liberty extinguished. Now that is not subtle.

To sum up; this production is the most outrageous of all time. That it is an official opening ceremony makes it a hell of a lot worse.

An epic fail if ever there was one. They have failed to read the room but they don’t even care.

They are emboldened and such is their reward.
