They've backtracked, saying they weren't intending to depict the Last Supper at all and people are merely seeing coincidences. Hilariously, claiming this BTFOs any argument that defended the ceremony by saying that poking fun at religion is fine and traditionally french. You can't have your cake and eat it on this one, all-inclusive and parodying religion are mutually exclusive.
>Invited by BFMTV on Sunday morning, Thomas Jolly, artistic director of the ceremony explained. « Was this the Last Supper ? It was not my inspiration (.) I think it was pretty clear, there's Dionysus coming up on this table. He is there because he is god of the holiday [..], wine, and father of Sequana, goddess connected to the river ».
>The director of Starmania continued : « The idea was rather to make a great pagan party related to the gods of Olympus... Olympus... Olympism ». The day before, at a press conference alongside the OCOG and the IOC, he had already recalled that he had « never intended to be sassy and subversive ». « Our intention was to include, do not exclude anyone » had insisted Thomas Jolly.
