Abstract/Description |
Designed by Eamon D’Arcy, this grasshopper lantern featured in ‘Arrivals’ - a theatrical segment in the Opening Ceremony for the Sydney Olympic Games. Along with other Asian-inspired props, it represented the Asian cultures that arrived in Australia through migration. With its pale green shade, the lantern complemented the yellow props and costumes that echoed the yellow Olympic ring - a symbol of the Asian continent. |
