How would you stage the acts? 2019 Edition

[esc87fan]

I've done this the past few years, so I'd love to hear some ideas on how you would stage this year's acts. Be as creative as you can given the tone and main idea of each song

I thought about Kate doing a 4 seasons theme with winter, spring, summer and fall because in my head I pictured snow and leaves while listening to the song
but then I remembered that Estonia were kinda doing the same thing last year so maybe not lol

KEiiNO - plenty of northern lights and beautiful stags or deers patronuses like in Harry Potter to be flying on the LED screen. I’d also love fire and water to appear

Spain - I would certainly do a "train" of people where Miki would lead and and the backing vocals would follow him during the last chorus. I don't know if "train" is the correct expression in English. I mean when people are in a line and they put their hands on the shoulders of the people in front and they walk like that. It's a common collective dance move in popular parties. I know it would be less expressive with only 6 people on stage, but I imagined this since the first time I heard the song!

I hope that Switzerland keeps that 30's-type styling from the music video, I think it fits the song perfectly!

For the Netherlands, I would keep the aquatic theme with some soft lighting on the verses, but intensify it on the chorus. Maybe have Duncan on a satellite stage surrounded by the audience, with some effective camera angles to highlight key parts of the performance

Albania, think the colours of the first minute of Georgia 2017, the camera shots and fire of Hungary 2017, and the smoke of Georgia 2015.

Mostly I just hope countries keep the staging from the national finals, like I hope Finland does, I mean last year Belarus and Malta were killed by their Eurovision performances not being as good as their national final ones.

- like the official video

 

[Citelis]

Sweden and Portugal must like their nfs!

 

[Pawhlen]

Sweden and Portugal must like their nfs!

I agree on but maybe a bit more light (which it will be now)

I liked 's NF staging - wavy stars/dots tinted with some orange. Looks so simple and so peaceful. So what that it doesn't connect to the song's message - it's better that way than ham-freckling-fist it with forced father pictures from the Eurofans of mostly the local kind. Nothing against that - just, even if MTVA has decided to do it, they better do not overdo it. I certaintly would've - just hidden them all subtly underneath those wave visuals. Or not used the fathers pics at all, idk.

Albania, think the colours of the first minute of Georgia 2017, the camera shots and fire of Hungary 2017, and the smoke of Georgia 2015.

minus the smoke malfunction from the final performance

is not an easy song to stage. I don't want fireworks or a very heavy staging. It has to be theatrical with tight camera work and great graphics. The last 30 seconds of the song must be memorable, ethereal and epic.
