Show ahead for La Zarra! “You will see that the staging [la mise en scène] is “pretty surprising”, “promised Alexandra Redde-Amiel at the microphone of 12 Points, the podcast that deciphers Eurovision. In the episode posted on Monday, the head of the French delegation to Eurovision gave some ideas on the scenography envisaged for the final of the competition, which will take place on May 13 in Liverpool (United Kingdom). The tricolor chances will be in the hands (and the voice) of the Canadian artist, who will perform the song Obviously.
The objective was to “summarize all the personalities of La Zarra in one staging “, advanced the one who is also the director of games and entertainment for France Télévisions. And to clarify: “I wanted something that was both fashion show and out of the ordinary, because it is – it can both be [Lady] Gaga or come up with something very simple. »
There will be a “prop”, an accessory” on stage
The head of delegation also revealed to our colleagues that the staging would involve “a proper, a prop,” adding that there’s “something going to happen that’s going to be really cool.” She also hinted that the artist should be alone on the Liverpool set: “As she is iconic and she is a diva, she does not need a lot of people on stage with her. »
The scenography was worked on in close collaboration between France Télévisions and La Zarra. “We offer her a lot of things and she comes back to us saying: ‘I love it’, ‘I see things like that.’ I’m very lucky to have a real designer,” said Alexandre-Redde Amiel.
The “opposite” of Sweden
“For the first time”, the delegation, which requested a decorator, also called on the services of a director of photography to design the three-minute performance. “We wanted to surround ourselves with lots of trades to make a big light show “, underlined the head of delegation to the podcast.
Asked about the competition, the latter said that she had “talked a lot” with her teams about Sweden’s candidacy. Represented by Loreen – who already won Eurovision eleven years ago – the Scandinavian country presented, during its selection, an imposing scenography, involving a heavy screen. “We are going to take a counter-stance which may be nice”, was limited to saying Alexandra Redde-Amiel.
