Glory for the game
Scene Productions took the initiative to present the opening ceremony of the 2022 AFC Futsal Asia Cup, hosted at the Sheikh Saad Al-Abdullah Indoor Sports Complex. The event was characterized by a grand spectacle combining music and choreographed movements intertwined with modern technologies. This presentation seamlessly merged Kuwait’s cultural heritage with the spirit of sportsmanship, commencing with a welcoming song that introduced Kuwait’s guests to a new melody set to the rhythm of the traditional Kuwaiti Ardha dance, symbolizing the authenticity of the old Kuwaiti city. The performance was complemented by the maritime folkloric circular rhythms, executed by large human formations, signifying the significance of collective effort in achievement and enjoyment.
The sequence then transitioned to a sports segment, closely aligned with the celebratory occasion. This segment highlighted the goals and pivotal moments that secured each team’s participation in the championship, accompanied by the most renowned athletic music associated with each country. The final part featured melodies and rhythms expressing the ambiance of spirited support within Kuwaiti stadiums, interactively engaging the audience through applause and chants, culminating the enthusiastic opening and signaling the commencement of an exhilarating sports tournament.
