LAST UPDATE: THE STAGE IS YOURS
One more day to go
The stage design is one of the most anticipated elements of the Nation Song Contest franchise alongside the theme artwork and of course the songs. Griffin broadcaster
GTV has revealed the stage design for the 200th anniversary celebration which is described as powerful and brave. The set has been designed by Frida Arvidsson and Viktor Brattström who also produced the stage for the second edition of the
Griffin Song Contest (Griffiniskaja Laul 02) in Nýtdainsk.
The set designers have used light as a strong component to create depth. "We want to do something that makes people wonder if it’s even possible", says Viktor Brattström. Plans also include an innovative LED wall which allows the artists to move inside it. "Normally an LED wall is a flat background wall at the very end of the stage. We have broken up the wall and made it possible for people to move inside it" he added.
Reflecting on the Congratulations design compared to the stage in Nýtdainsk, Frida Arvidsson said, "Back then we focused on a softer expression with no pixels and projections. This year we are trying to play with the room and create optical illusions".
Producer, Sven Zdihemifadj, is very impressed with the design plans; "It’s really a great looking stage, giving us something that we haven’t seen before. In a way the stage gives us almost unlimited possibilities but at the same time forcing us to think in a new way. Creatively it’s both challenging and inspiring".
