Rehearsing right now inside the Expo Tel Aviv is Srbuk, performing โWalking Outโ for Armenia. We will continue to update this article as each run through takes place, so make sure to keep refreshing for the most up-to-date review!
Firstly, remind yourselves what happened in the first rehearsal:
And now here is what weโve noticed in todayโs second rehearsal:
The show starts off with a close up of Srbuk who compared to the first rehearsal now features a new hair style and outfit. Her hair has some extravagant braids with a traditional shawl and a close up of her rings is one of the first things we see.
She is alone on stage and the performance has a prominent black and red theme throughout with an opening white sliding background towards the middle. The performance features multiple camera angles that range from close ups to audience shots. When she hits the high notes, the LED floor changes to give a glass breaking effect and later, it also appears in the graphics on screen. Sbruk delivers solidly, giving a very fierce vibe. On the third run through, we saw the pyro effects, which include a firey storm, adding to the fierceness of the whole show.
Here is a reminder of the first rehearsal:
