NxtUp...North Korea
Frightening & Fascinating
"North Korea has held mass gymnastic games and performances since 1946. Increasingly lavish, the games have culminated in the national showpiece Arirang Mass Gymnastic and Artistic Performances—premiering in 2002 to coincide with ninetieth anniversary of Kim Il Sung's birthday, and held annually in Pyongyang's 150,000-seat May Day Stadium. The games are astonishing spectacles of precision, athleticism, teamwork, and showmanship involving 100,000 performers, giant video screens, lasers, fireworks, and an audience section of 20,000 to 40,000 students who hold up colored cards to form mosaics backdrop scenes on cue."
