Most spectators get really moved when they watch not only the Opening but also the Closing ceremonies of the Paralympics Games.

Do you know who has created these special moments ?  

Marcelo Paiva (57) the creative director for  the Paralympic Games Opening (September 7th,2016),Vic Muniz and  Flavio Machado .Marcelo Paiva has said :

"It won't be cheesy,it will make us proud.You will cry tears of emotion at some points.It will be almost like a magic trick,with lots of pop-ups,you know like the ones you find in kids' books.Lots of optical illusions Vick Muniz loves magic."

Mr.Paiva is a wheelchair user since he was 20,and swimmer since he was six.He is an award -winning writer,honoured for his novels and his plays ,and this year he will launch his latest work about the Brazilian punk movement.

Marcelo Paiva  explains : " People with an impairment also laugh,also get themselves into funny situations,to shatter this stereotype of the sad little person." He emphasizes  that "The heart knows no limits. Everybody has a heart .Impaired people awake the good inside of people"

Do you agree with his point of view ? How do you feel when you watch the Paralympic Athletes performing and competing ?
