France’s first rehearsal
Hats off to France. Their presentation is great. The concept is simple but really effective. Lisa is standing in her blue dress (blue dress, hasn’t someone told her about the ‘curse of the blue dress’ at Eurovision?) alone on stage. Reflecting the lyrics of the song, there is a backdrop of a raged village. Later on, four drummers enter the stage accompanying the singer in her performance. The scenes of destroyed villages change slowly. The most effective part, however, comes when a whole formation of numerous arrayed drummers, dressed in the same way as the real ones on stage show on the background. This is a really beautiful presentation
