"In order to present our culture objectively we decided to look at it through a European's perspective, through the eyes of a man born in the very heart of Europe: prominent director Daniele Finzi Pasca. We wanted to see how Russian culture reflects in the world art context and which part of Russian culture has already become an integral part of world culture", Konstantin Ernst said.
Spectators of the Closing Ceremony at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games will once again meet Lubov (Love), the young girl who was already introduced during the Opening Ceremony. Along with her new friends Valentina and Yura, she will travel through Russian culture, turning the pages of Russian literature, enjoying the magic of Russian art and listening to the wonderful sounds of Russian music.
As per tradition, a part of the Closing Ceremony will be dedicated to handing the Olympic flag over to the host of the future Winter Games – the city of PyeongChang. Spectators will be presented with an eight-minute show introducing Korea's five-millennia-old history. During the presentation, the sounds of a gayageum (a traditional Korean musical instrument) will be heard.
