Eurovision is back! Delegations have landed/arrived in Vienna these last few days and rehearsals started last weekend. Just like last year, for the first rehearsal, the EBU releases information on the day of each rehearsal, with a sets of three photographs published the day after. As such, today, we cover yesterday’s rehearsals of the automatic qualifiers. The last one, and last to rehearse for the first time overall, was the host country and “Tanzschein”
🇦🇹 Austria – COSMÓ – First rehearsal
The following pictures have been published by the official Eurovision accounts.
What happened on stage?
This description is sourced from indications given by the official Eurovision Reddit account:
- COSMÓ wears black leather trousers, a black rhinestone shirt and a sort of partial chrome-like armour: a breastplate and an arm armour on his left arm
- Several dancers with animal heads join him
- They begin lying on the floor, then stand up, and end up on top of grid climbing frames lowered from the ceiling
- The famous Tanzschein choreography is shown multiple times
- The LED screen shows the message “Dance away your inner animal”
- COSMÓ ends the performance “at the club, with multi-coloured strobe lights pulsating behind him”
Here’s the small message COSMÓ had for the Eurovision fans after his rehearsal:
And that’s the first rehearsals closed, with all 35 entries covered! But stay tuned for further coverage of the secondrehearsals, and for our live coverage on the ground starting tomorrow, which will include (among other things) the full dress rehearsals and the live shows, live from Vienna!
