I disagree so much
For me it's the catchiest song of the year and easily Greece's best song since 2005

They are really trying to make the staging even worse than years like 2018

This is probably in my bottom 3 of all time for Greek entries and Greece has next to no entries that I consider bad, f it wasnt for Cyprus and Albania being in semi 2 I would put it as almost guaranteed NQ

 

[rasmuslights]

for me it isn't that bad but the staging is lowkey the worst this year (along Romania) - actually the only bad staging.

Anyway staging was never the strong part of Greek entries. Actually the opposite! Even entries that did got a very good result like Amanda could have been even more impressive staging imo.

I think the staging for Die together was really fitting, I think it was just not meant to be a big televote magnet from the beginning as a song ( that still did decently for a ballad tho )

It was a very good staging obviously, otherwise it wouldn't have finished 6th with juries but it was possible to be even more impressive and anyway it is budget that comes into account for countries like Greece.
The issue is that so far no one else outside Fokas has managed to do a proper staging for Greece.

Maria Lyraraki is a decent director, she staged 2013 perfectly with a very small budget and she made 2016's Argo... presentable

I mean 2013 wasn't really a hard song to stage.

Is there any full video of his rehearsal?

I thought I had erased Utopian Land from my mind why would you bring it up

so Im guessing you didnt want to join them for a utopian land where they were the rise in the rising sun??

 

[ArmpitOfEurope]

not yet but we know whats happening in the performance

hes lying-sitting on the stage at first, then he gets up, then the 5 Victor-holograms appear on the led, then the letter V with other greek letters appear on the led with some smoke on the stage

 

[lilka]

And that's it? That is the Greek element in the staging?

 

[tararaaam]

I mean, with the problems we have seen in the first semi rehearshals, maybe it wont look that bad after all

According to Rigos today, the greek element in the staging is the colour of Victor's clothes, because they remind you of the greek beach sand and corncobs

Needless to say everyone makes fun of him today lol

 

[lilka]

Uhm, okay. If that is Greek, then I've never been to Greece before and I don't speak Greek...

 

[Citelis]

The huge Victors behind look kinda ridiculous
