The stage is all lit in red and black for this Georgian entry and features petals of roses (or drops of blood?) falling down, simple but very beautiful. Sopho and her four dancers walk to the stage together and the dancers perform some rather demanding moves on stage througout the performance – from sword fighting to dancing on knees. Sopho herself joins in at times but mainly stays in front of the stage while giving a splendid vocal performance. Also Georgia opted for the fireworks and there will be several in the last part of the song.
PRESS CONFERENCE
Sopho, speaking in Georgian through a translator, stressed what a great pleasure it was to represent Georgia on their debut entry. She was keen to impress upon the press what a beautiful country Georgia is, with a strong tradition of music and dancing which they now bring to the contest. But how popular is the contest itself in Georgia? Sopho answers: “For two years we have been watching the contest, and this year everyone is thrilled to see our own entry. I hope this will be a huge support for my country“. The delegation also quite sharply pointed out that the weather in Georgia is very nice, no doubt trying to draw the comparison with the inclement Helsinki climate this week!
