The 2017 World Games Opening Ceremony was the first project of its kind in Poland on such a large scale. The technical infrastructure was specially prepared for this purpose, including three stages on different levels weighing a total of 270 tons (including one placed 20 meters above the ground and adapted to the needs of a 60-piece orchestra), a set installed on one of the venue’s stands (covering an area of ​​25,000 m²), 2,500 lighting fixtures, and multimedia screens totaling 800 m² (which also served as the stage floor). Planning all the elements to enable the efficient and spectacular parade of 3,500 athletes was also crucial. As a result, this technical set-up enabled a spectacular performance of both the official portion and the artistic and musical portions.

A key challenge of the entire ceremony was adapting it to the demanding target group – people aged 25-35. Therefore, the entire event had to be executed in a dynamic and unconventional manner. The figure that united the various elements of the script was the Dwarf – a local symbol who, together with 400 artists (musicians and dancers), led the audience through the entire spectacle.
