At DIFF 2023, the Finnish team provided residents and visitors with a dynamic and emotional performance rooted in rock melodies, followed by deep emotions with the song ‘Listen to your heart’. Music mixed with sound and light created a wonderful symphony in the sky of Da Nang.

The amazing fireworks performance, with effects of mesmerizing light beams, told the audience along the banks of the iconic Han River a special journey back to a "new normal" life after COVID-19.

Team Finland showed strong emotions and love for life in their performance themed ‘Warm-up my heart’

With a variety of modern fireworks techniques, each fireworks beat was perfectly choreographed with cascading rays of light, in harmony with the rock background music, bringing the audience the emotional "ups and downs" like the interval itself over the past three difficult years. And when the pandemic was over, the world was closer together like never before.

The Han River exploded in the party of lights.

The highlight of the performances by the host team and the defending champion was to convey the message of peace and happiness, giving the audience joyful and contemplative emotions. The rhythm of the fireworks bursting in the sky seemed to match the beat of many hearts watching DIFF, promoting solidarity and a common vision for a peaceful future.
