Olympic 2016 kick off with opening ceremony in Rio

Rio Olympic Opening Ceremony 2016 kicked off in Rio with a stunning celebration of Brazilian culture. Most of the tight budget for the Rio Olympic ceremony has been spent on a high-tech splurge for the show's video projections.  At one point, the entire of the stadium was transformed into an otherworldly landscape as huge moving sculptures of microbes moved across the floor. 

The stadium became a forest floor and people of the native tribes of Brazil, in traditional dress, performed a choreographed dance with the fibre optic lights to recreate tribal art.  The Parade of nations started at the Opening Ceremony with Greece entering the stadium as per tradition.
