From ancient Greece to the present day, sports—embodying the ideal of being “higher, faster, stronger”—have always been a source of joy and revelry. For individuals, sports provide a valuable way to train themselves: to get in shape, to improve fitness, to sharpen their minds, and to challenge their limits. For nations, sports carry a richer, sometimes ambiguous and contradictory meaning: flags on uniforms, national anthems at awards ceremonies, the exclusion of certain countries, slogans chanted by the audience. In October, 2023, the performance titled The Allympics took place in OōEli, echoing the recently concluded sporting events in Hangzhou.
