TURIN OLYMPIC GAMES:
CLOSING CEREMONY
My carnival is a journey across time. It is an ingenuous transgression, tipsiness. It is a sudden change, a restless being. It is the first farewell party. It is a somersault, a souvenir album, a collection of fragrances. It is a spectacle springing from the hearts, the poetry, and the touch of madness of a great many volunteers I met over the past months. It is a burlesque ceremony, spontaneous, cheerful, extravagant, linked to a past that I might have only dreamed of.
Daniele Finzi Pasca
The poetic gesture of the clown intended as monologue for a single spectator or an Olympic ceremony
