Dramatic staging.

A stunning scene. The theme of the opening ceremony is "We Are One."

A long view.

Signage salutes the theme. The "We Are One" theme was designed to present the theme of embracing differences and turning a disability into an ability.

A beautiful performer.

Honoring disabled athletes.

A dramatic scene.

Powerful lighting.

Another view .... 

And another .... 

And another ....

The closing ceremony was produced in conjunction with Royalindo Convention International.

The Closing Ceremony was hosted today in the Gelora Bung Karno Madya Stadium in Jakarta and attended by more than 15,000 people.

The audience celebrated the spirit of the multi-sport event organized by the Asian Paralympic Committee and enjoyed a two-hour show featuring 421 performers and seven live music acts, including K-pop stars band AOA.

“We Are One Wonder” was the theme of the Closing Ceremony, a true celebration of the concept of “wonder.” In the word “wonder,” "We find a feeling of amazement and admiration, caused by something beautiful and remarkable," the team says.

"Hidden in the word 'wonder' there is also the word 'won,'" says the team, 'the past tense of a glorious victory, a tale of triumph."

Featuring powerful music, artistic extravaganza and live theatrical action of wayang (Indonesian shadow puppets), “We Are One Wonder” brought a wonderful spectacle to close the Indonesia 2018 Asian Para Games.

Anghela Aló, creative director, said: "In the Opening Ceremony we showed the ABILITY beyond the limits of prejudices and the Closing Ceremony was a tribute to all the athletes and their efforts, an incredible celebration that rejoices gathering in the same place athletes, volunteers and audience to honor their passion, courage and discipline with one of kind party!"

Laura Cappelli, ceremonies producer, adds:  "Ceremonies are a huge and complex machine to be managed, but also a great opportunity for the host Country and its people to show their culture to the world. All our projects start with an immersive relationship with the people, the culture and the economic system that host us. In Jakarta, for example, most of our 207 people team was composed by high profile Indonesian professionals and we worked with over 1000 local suppliers. This is the reason why we really want to thank Indonesian people for the amazing shows we created together."

The ceremony was preceded by a minute of silence called to remember the victims of the earthquake and tsunami in Sulawesi.

Some fireworks fun for the closing ceremonies.
