Majestic Olympics 2022 Opening Ceremony & Parade of Nations

The Opening Ceremony and the Parade of Nations happened during the same event which was hosted in the Aria Stadium which is located in the capital city of Aria. The stadium had the capacity of 125,000 with the event being broadcast in each competing nation.

Opening Ceremony
The Camprean Olympics Committee set out in their bidding process that they wanted to represent the history of Majestica, formation of Campre, the current day in the world of Majestica and the current day in Campre.

A Dark Beginning
At the start of the opening ceremony the stadium floor was set up to represent a high street with different stores, houses and factories with a set of volunteers wearing clothing as shown in the picture on the left. The lighting was quite dark, and had a rain effect to symbolize the dark times the individuals were facing. These volunteers would be acting as if they were conducting a normal day in the lives of the individuals that lived in that era. A small scene was shown representing a young boy being chased by the police due to stealing bread with individuals looking on but going back inside their houses, stores or factories as if that was normal behavior; however shortly after a small group of individuals walked out of the buildings they entered wearing the clothing on the right or similar clothing. These individuals represented the initial movement that sparked the uprise which resulted in the new nation referendum.

The Uprising
Following the individuals entering the stadium in colorful clothing more scenes began to occur. These scenes included shop windows being broken and produce being thrown. A drum beat slowly was introduced into the background and a group of individuals wearing colorful clothing entered the group in a formal protest. The group was led by a male volunteer who was dressed to represent the first Camprean Prime Minister Keir Hardie. The group held banners saying "New Nation", "Give Us Peace" and "A New Beginning". Upon arrival in the center of the arena the drumming beat went silent and the man representing Keir gave a speech which featured direct dialogue from his first initial speech he gave when Campre gained independence. The buildings were removed from the arena floor with all of the other performers walking to the side of the arena. The drum beat was once again introduced as groups of individuals in dark clothing ran through the arena. Individuals in colorful clothing were seen being hoarded into groups. This represented the arrests that occurred for leading activists in the independence movement.

Parade of Nations
During the parade of nations each country entered in alphabetical order with their representative athlete as the flag bearer being in front of their delegation. Due to Campre being the host nation they entered the arena last.
