SOME fans were left bemused as they tuned in for the opening ceremony of the Paralympics Games Paris 2024.<br /><br />More than 4,400 from 154 countries are taking part in the Games over the next couple of weeks in a festival of sport.<br /><br />But some watching from home weren't able to settle into the spectacle as they had no idea what was going on during one of the musical acts during the ceremony.<br /><br />It came after a French band called 'Christine and the Queens' performed during the ceremony.<br /><br />The music of 'Christine and the Queens' blends various genres, including pop but fans were perplexed by the choreography surrounding the act.<br /><br />The musicians arrived in a car filled with red roses before they entered the stage.<br /><br />Once on stage, dancers dressed in black suits and sunglasses paraded around while sprawling across a piano as they wildly threw their hands in the air.<br /><br />The band is known for incorporating choreography into performances - the choreography often combines contemporary dance and elements of theatre.<br /><br />But some fans took to social media as they were a bit confused by what the meaning was behind the stage routine.<br /><br />Posting on X, one said: "Am I the only person watching the Opening Ceremony who has absolutely no idea what is happening?"<br /><br />One fan penned: "I attended the 2012 Paralympics Opening Ceremony - no one had any idea then either."<br /><br />While another said: "It's bonkers....not a clue what's going on!"<br /><br />While a fourth wrote: "Me too. What's it meaning I'm lost already."<br /><br />Meanwhile, Ireland will be sending 35 athletes to compete across nine different sports, with all four provinces represented.
