More than 90,000 spectators, 7,000 cast members, 5,000 athletes, and 1,000 volunteers packed Brazil’s historic Maracanã Stadium for the Emmy Award- winning ceremonies of the 15th Pan American Games.
FiveCurrents assembled a team with an innovative mix of talent, bringing Brazilian cultural visionaries together with novel young artists to deliver what Mario Vásquez Raña, the former president of the Pan American Sports Organization, called the “best Pan American Games ceremonies in history.”
“Brazil welcomed the Americas to dance last night, in a lush and lavish opening ceremony to kick off the 15th Pan American Games that outdid many an Olympic kickoff.”
