Although last year’s edition of Eurovision was won by Ukraine, due to the hostilities in that country, Great Britain decided to organize the event. During the show there were references to the fact that it is a Ukrainian-British initiative, and during the final the studio in Liverpool joined Ukraine. Ruslana Łyżyczko (Ukrainian singer, winner of Eurovision in 2004) appeared on the screens surrounded by the inhabitants of a country engulfed in war.
“What you don’t see in the 40 seconds between songs at Eurovision”
This year’s competition was not the most exciting, but a historic moment is the victory of Loreen, who was the first woman in the history of Eurovision to win the contest twice. Blanka, representing Poland, took only 19th place, but if only the viewers’ vote was taken into account, she would be in the eighth position. All performances lasted about three minutes, with an interval of less than a minute in between.
What happens when viewers see the announcement of the artist, decided to record one of the British comedians Abi Clarke. She posted a video on her TikTok that she called “What you don’t see during the 40 seconds between songs at Eurovision”. On it, we can see the stage crew, which is rapidly changing the scenery.
The recording of the comic lasts less than a minute and she decided to present the whole process that takes place during a short break. We can find out that a total of 29 props were used at this year’s Eurovision final, and the largest of them measures 8 meters by 6 meters. The stage crew responsible for the changes consists of 30 people, of which ten people prepare props or scenography elements from the side of the stage, another ten people place them on the stage, and the remaining ten people remove the previous ones at the same time.
In addition, we learn that the crew only practices three or four times before the show. The author of the recording summed it up with the statement “total chaos”, and at the very end she showed men leaving the stage, which she signed with the word “bromance”. In this case, it’s a joking term for a close, emotional, non-sexual relationship between two or more men that is deeper and more intimate than friendship. The video has been viewed almost seven million times and has been liked by 1.1 million users.
