One of the scenes includes nine themes from Nizami Ganjavi's work. This performance featured 300 performers and 200 trap doors which opened to reveal the scenery.
The performance with a lone woman walked along cracked, parched earth, before grass sprang up under her feet and water rose from the ground, reflects the ancient tradition of Novruz, the first day of spring.
A message of unity and peace was expressed through the lighting of the 34-metre Caspian Eclipse cauldron, which burned throughout the European Games.
The pomegranate symbolises unity in Azerbaijani folklore.
