Simplified ceremony

In the 30-second video showing the rehearsal of the opening ceremony released to the public, the performances will be integrated with dances, scenery and other display elements used in Japanese traditional festivals activities.

In order to prevent and control the COVID-19 pandemic and manage the cost, the Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee said that the performances of the ceremony will be greatly simplified, with more light and shadow technology used instead of real decorations at the scene.
