Second Rehearsal - Cyprus

Yay we caught Cyprus 🇨🇾

Pre-rehearsal bias check: I like this one but in mp3 it doesn't connect and is easily forgotten when it's not on - hoping for a performance to elevate it!

Cyprus begins with a focus on the water at the edge of the stage, as we drift up to Andromache, who is serving up mermaid realness (without the tail) in front of a shell-like structure.


This has a lot of flavour to it, with a staging dripping in ‘ethnic sea’ vibes and gentle yet effective choreography with backing dancers.


The projected patterns do kind of cause the two dancers disappear into the background.


The water focus throughout the instrumental/vocalisation parts enhances the mood and gives more structured feel to the song, which shifts from blue/purple into gold as a visual build to an entry that kind of lacks one.


And Andromache says the sweetest ‘thank you’ at the end. 🇨🇾


Verdict: I think we've got a Qualifier
