William: / williamleeadams
Deban: / deban_deban
The 1st song of the season that has real potential to win. Good luck Greece
❤❤
Fokas Evaggelinos was doing the staging and choreo for ALL of the acts. ERT said that they tried to keep it simple and fair to everyone, so nobody stands out because of staging. They didn’t even allows them to have props on stage, just dancers. Let’s hope that they will amp things up and we won’t fumble this again. 🇬🇷🧿
Fingers crossed for her!
I didn't pay much attention to this song's studio version but after hearing it live, I'm conviced this is the right choice for Greece.☺💖
It´s gorgeous well done Greece - love the glasses reminds me of Nana Mouskouri
I love this song so much and I am very happy with the victory of Klavdia. Her voice is so beautiful. She was my big favorite from the first time I heard it. Good luck Greece ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm so happy thos song won, it feels so Greece ! I used to be a fan of Greece's songs but that faded a bit in the last 10-12 years, but they are back, ready to slay !
The lyrics are:
Asteri mou - my star
Asteri mou - my star
Glykia mou mana min mou kles - My sweet mother dont cry on me
Mavra ki an sou foroune - even if they dress you in black
To xethoro to soma mou - my faded body
Floges den to nikoune - flames cannot defeat it
Ta helidonia tis fotias - the swallows of fire
Thalasses ki an pernoune - even if they cross seas
Tou rizomou ta homata - the soils of my roots
Pote then lismonoune - they never forget
Asteromata mou mikri - my little asteromata (eyes like stars)
Gyre na se filiso - turn (to me) to kiss you
Sta agia sou dakria - on your holy tears
Ta hili mou na sviso - to extinguish (fire) my lips
Asteromata mou mikri - my little asteromata
Gyre mou na se piaso - turn (to me) to hold you
Ta xehasmena mou ftera - my forgotten wings
Sterna na xapostaso - to finally bring to rest
Ah asteri mou, tzivaeri mou - oh my star, my precious
Ah asteri mou, tzivaeri mou - oh my star, my precious
Glykia mou mana min mou kles - My sweet mother dont cry on me
Karavi einai i zoi mou - my life is like a boat
Pou psahni gia to gyrismo - who seeks for the return
Agera to pani mou - the wind on my sail
Asteromata mou mikri - my little asteromata (eyes like stars)
Gyre na se filiso - turn (to me) to kiss you
Sta agia sou dakria - on your holy tears
Ta hili mou na sviso - to extinguish (fire) my lips
Asteromata mou mikri - my little asteromata
Gyre mou na se piaso - turn (to me) to hold you
Ta xehasmena mou ftera - my forgotten wings
Sterna na xapostaso - to finally bring to rest
Ah asteri mou, tzivaeri mou - oh my star, my precious
Ah asteri mou, tzivaeri mou - oh my star, my precious
Asteri mou - my star..
Is this your translation or the official? Because I think for xethoro a better translation is faded and not invisible.
Klavdia needs a unique staging to drive Europe crazy
Hope Fokas Evangelinos to rest this year and someone else brings new ideas
True. Fokas is a great director and choreographer, and we will forever be grateful to him for giving us some memorable performances in the competition for various countries.
However, it's time for him to step back and let someone else take the stage. I wouldn't mind him having a secondary role like a mentor or something,, but I don't want him to be the official director of our team in May.
@Dorminaru. I read Klavdia has her own team. They already work on the project.
@ No idea tbh, but I hope it's true
@@gimitgimit she said they dont have any projects for eurovision yet, she said they focused on national final, and they'll decide later who they'll work with and what they decide to do
I agree with you Fokas Evangelinos to rest for now!
A "HOLLY SONG!" like this it cannot be...danced!
It can... possibly presented with other Images and Effects?
It is just a "A Saint and Sad..Ballad" with a Dark History! Old Greek Ballad Song of Separation of War Refugees of the Pontic Greeks and family Separations! Also Economical Refugee-Migration song! How can it Presented?😭😭😭
Amazing entry!!!

❤ thanks to reacting the Greece winner Klavdia ❤❤
Astero...masterpiece song
Angelic vocals
Just let Fokas Evangelinos at home and let Klavdia reach top5!
This song doesn't need choreography. It needs epic 3d staging. Live instruments maybe and 4 women on stage to sing with her and create vocal harmony. It will be epic.
It is early days but I feel Greece could win❤in Basel Eurovision Song Contest 🎵 2025.
I love the Song 🎵 😍 so much.
Good Luck Greece 🇬🇷 💙
This is going to be massive, if stars align. The best choice for Greece in years!
Hello from Greece 🇬🇷 Queen Klavdia is ready for Basel ✨✨💫🥇
Queen is READY
Hello from Greece 😄😀😁im so happy which Klavdia won ❤🎉🎊✌️🎈🌹😃😄😀😁🙌👌🏆👏👏👏👏👏i love her ❤😍deserved it 👍amazing song and so beautiful her voice too ❤👌✌️Klavdia is so beautiful girl amazing ❤🌹🎈😍🎉👌
The song draws inspiration by the history of Pontiac Greek and their uprooting after WW1. It speaks of the loss of homeland and the search for a better life. Asteromata, the starryeyed woman/girl, was often used to describe women with beautiful and impressive eyes at that time.
We are mourning but we try to find strength and hope for the the future.
The songs is beautiful, but the staging needs to make the message clear.
Thank you for this great reaction video.
Unfortunately we can't say any of this to the Eurovision contest because they changed the rules and they don't wank any references to politics.... Even though it's a part of our history...
@KaterinaV of course you cannot reference directly to a specific event, but the vague lyrics are just fine.
Excellent description for the meaning of the song.Ευχαριστουμε.🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
@@KaterinaV Όταν το έκανε η Ουκρανία το 16 και κέρδισε καλά ήταν; Αλλά φυσικά κανείς στην Ευρώπη δε νοιάζεται για τα δεινά των Ελλήνων εξαιτίας των Τούρκων, παρά μόνο για την προώθηση της αντιρωσικής προπαγάνδας.
This song talks about someone's roots. When someone is forced to leave his mother home land, because of a war or poverty etc., there is always this special bond , which he never forgets. People always misses their homeland , wherever they are ..like a child misses its mother and vise versa...So... this is the main subject of the song. Our love from Greece ❤ ...( p.s. We are being told that the staging is going to change dramatically... We will see .. )
*I will comment under all the videos of this dynamic duo! Guys, you make my day every time. Greetings from Greece!*
Wow wow she's the best Greece you have is just about the music she sound like Angel❤❤
To be honest i am from Greece and this is the best song and voice Greece ever send
Και η Παπαριζου εχει φωναρα.
LOL. That's too much...
lol ok, it's your personal opinion, to me it was too boring?
The staging was the voice not@@MsMinoula
best voice are Koch/Vossou. But she is good
Thank you for your heartful reaction guys.
Thank you too! ❤️
I agree. Lots of potential there with artist and song. With an also great staging this can elevate Greece back to a serious contender for a top spot.
Amazing
If Eurovision is all about the song and vocals, this one is a winner. But of course Eurovision is not only this. Sadly.
She is so cute, good luck Greece 🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙
they are gonna change the whole act
I hope
Φωνάρα μου πάμε δυνατά 🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Μακάρι φέτος η Ελλάδα μας να πάει πολύ ψηλά
🇬🇷🇬🇷 Asteromata 🇬🇷🇬🇷
I really enjoyed this video. You are both so good in what you are doing. The vocabulary you use to give your opinion is on spot! Very well done
Masterpiece
Song is about longing to go back to your homeland ..Having to leave because of war or poverty ..a mother waiting for her child to return...rooted..always connected thus the ambilical cord...My star, my star
My sweet mom, don't you cry
even if they put black clothes on you
My faded body is not
defeated by the flames
The swallows of fire
even if they cross the seas
they never forget
the soil of their roots..My little Starry Eyed Girl
turn so I can kiss you
so I can extinguish my lips
in your holy tears
My little Starry Eyed Girl
turn to me so I can catch you
and rest my
forgotten wings.Ah, my star, my treasure
My sweet mom, don't you cry
My life is a boat
that looks for a way back
and the wind is my sail..My little Starry Eyed Girl
turn to me so I can catch you
and rest my
forgotten wings..Ah, my star, my treasure
Ah, my star, my treasure
My star...Amazing song and voice....song that emotes sorrow😢 😢😢😢
I love your translation
This is not going to be the staging at Eurovision
Please yes...who came with this idea of the 4 ladies laying down doing nothing ??
What was that ?
@@ninanikoletou1668 right they should've moved quite a bit with respect to klavdia at the chorus
@@ninanikoletou1668Fokas Evangelinos was the stage director and yes you’re absolutely right. Seriously he needs to retire. His ideas are so out of fashion
Thankfully
@@sofiamarinou1620 ugh, this guy yet again? 🤦♀️ we're doomed.
I heard that Fokas didn't want to make someone be more stunning than another and wanted to be fair with all the participants! But again, I hope for many changes on staging...I hope someone to see all those comments about staging! Klavdia was flawless... especially on acapella part...she slayed! Plus, I don't mind about her glasses...is her personal style, but something has to be with the director and we need more visuals! We don't need dancers specifically but something to show how powerful this song is by it's own!!❤ If we put dancers on it at least they should move.........
the dancers with the tail of the dress create the ancient Greek spiral. The Spiral, which combines the shape of a circle and its Dynamic movement, symbolizes Time. As part of the smooth endless line it also symbolizes growth, continuity, the rhythm of breath and life itself.
In the metaphysical realm it symbolizes the regions of existence, the various modes of an existence, the wanderings of a soul in manifestation as well as the final return to the Center.
Thank you for the explanation!!
Maybe some will learn something and stop talking nonsense!!
@ΠαρασκευηΚωστελιδου το έγραψα διότι βλέπω όντως ότι τους μπερδεύει αρκετά η σκηνική παρουσία δεν ξερουν τι σημαίνει όλο αυτό που βλέπουν!

Προσωπικά η κοιμισμένη χορευτές που φαίνονται σαν πτώματα έστω κι αν ήταν έτσι στο τέλος Κοιμωμένη σε αυτό το σχήμα, εμένα προσωπικά δε μου βγάζει τίποτα το ιδιαίτερο από αυτά που γράφετε για Το σχήμα του σπιράλ! Φαίνεται όλο βαρετό άχρωμο και ακίνητο δηλαδή δεν βγάζει καθόλου κίνηση την οποία χρειάζεται ένας τηλεοπτικός διαγωνισμός επίσης κανένα μήνυμα δεν βγαίνει από όλο αυτό το σκηνικό
🌀🎶✨
Mesmerizing… no more words needed
While watching her at the final I thought that my screen was frozen and just the sound was playing.Girl fire your stage director yesterday
Bring Demetris Papaioannou in, from Athena 2004 Opening and closing ceremony , and we might see some wonders take place on stage ❤🎉
Ναι μαι !! Απιστευτο ταλεντο
The staging will be completely different guys! Don't worry!😉
She is wonderful and this song is a winner !!!!!!!!!!!
So...
Song 10/10
Presence 8/10 (I need more heartfelt emotions)
Staging 2/10
So if the staging is going to be amazing in May and I trust in her & her team creativity, this could be my winner this year
personal take here, this songs elates perfectly to the train crash that happened in Tempi Greece on the 28.02.2023
when I saw the scene, it reminded me a lot of the myth of the labyrinth and Ariadne, who to save her lover from the minotaur gave him her thread. here the fabric of the garment is the thread for clavdia to find her way back.
What i get from the song is a talk a dead soldier has with his mother, from the heavens (from the stars). As she is staring the stars at night sky , teared up while dressed in black mourning for the loss of her son. He asks her to stop crying over his death. The fire swallows being the jet fighters , .. the ship being his faded (pale) body moving to eternity, but still wanting to come back home from the war field. The roots of his land being the Birthplace he wanted to defend. His long forgotten wings being his hopes for freedom and peice wanting to rest in his mother hands and hug.
Oh gosh, those lyrics ,straight in my emotion like arrows of burning metal.
This is an anti-war song as I can interpretate the lyrics in my mind. This is a hymn to all those troops that are lost in the fields for reasons that should not be.
Humanity needs love respect and supporting each other.
Let no other people suffer
Let's be happy to see other people happy instead of being happy to see others suffer.
Peace
Klavdia giving Nana Mouskouri realness, Love it! Song and vocals 10/10 . Staging not so sure but then I’m sure they will work on something amazing for Eurovision stage. People keep comparing this to Oniro Mou, can I just remind you all that the huge difference is that Klavdia has a much stronger vocals .
She just needs 5 people dressed as the Greek gods that move only when the beat drops! The screen should be showing statues of Greece that break and build again.
My star, my star
My sweet mom, don't you cry
even if they put black clothes on you
My faded body is not
defeated by the flames
The swallows of fire
even if they cross the seas
they never forget
the soil of their roots
My little Starry Eyed Girl
turn so I can kiss you
so I can extinguish my lips
in your holy tears
My little Starry Eyed Girl
turn to me so I can catch you
and rest my
forgotten wings
Ah, my star, my treasure
My sweet mom, don't you cry
My life is a boat
that looks for a way back
and the wind is my sail
My little Starry Eyed Girl
turn to me so I can catch you
and rest my
forgotten wings
Ah, my star, my treasure
Ah, my star, my treasure
My star
With the right staging Klavdia is gonna smash it .
She is singing live ❤❤❤❤❤
Oh wow, Greece finally decided not to send a Greek immigrant's kid born anywhere but Greece 😂. Very nice song btw. To me this is a top 10.
Btw, if anyone can tell me what Asteromata means 😅.
Who do you even mean?
Asteromàta means starry eyes !! You can find the English translation of the lyrics on eurovision world
@@Kostas_Dikefalaios Victor, Stefania for e.g. I forgot about Marina last year so yeah, I guess they started last year 😅
@@abrielrobertsson4160 Marina is half Greek though to be fair and grew up in Greece. Diaspora Greeks shouldnt be neglected though. Even Paparizou grew up in Sweden. The ones you mentioned though barely even seem to be culturally Greek haha.
Marina Satti was also born and raised in Greece she was just half of Sudanese origin. Asteromàta means Starry-eyed girl.
The lyrics of the song refer to the uprooting of the Pontic Greeks from Turkey to Greece more than a century ago. They refer to the pain someone feel when is forced to abandon its homeland.
Klavdia is of Pontic origin and her family has experienced this uprooting. She has heard many stories about this uprooting from her grandmother.
ΠΑΜΕ ΚΛΑΥΔΙΑ ❤
I'm expecting a revamped staging like Ukraine's last year. Vidbir's staging for Teresa and Maria was lackluster and in Malmö was probably the best staging of the show. Just let Fokas go and miracles might happen!
A good comparison - Ukraine definitely took things to another level.
She is amazing❤❤❤❤❤
Let me answer some questions for you.. This song talks about the painful Greek history... About the lost Greek homelands and the uprooting of Greeks from them... We Greeks cried with this song...
The best choice! Welldone KLAVDIA. But we neew a better staging and an elevating revamp in the second half of the song, more beat, more strings!!! And there we have a TOP3 place for Greece!
Would love an even stronger beat. It's powerful!
I'm Greek that for I'm positively preoccupied with Klavdia and especialy with her "Asteromata" song!
So, please allow me to think that this year, Greece is not contesting!
This year Greece is bringing to the Eurovision an ecoumenical preposition of culture, full of the warmth of the light of humanity inside each and every human being!!!
Please keep in mind that what we saw is not what will be presented in Basel. The staging will be different.
Absolutely. We look forward to seeing this EVOLVE!
Obviously the song will have a different direction on the Eurovision stage. The director simply had to direct all 12 in 2 weeks. Now they will have 3.5 months to think about how to present it on stage. Let's not be hard on her because she didn't perform the song the way she will perform it in the Eurovision final.
I can understand the reaction.
This is an incredible song from Klavdia with the Magic Voice that brings out emotions!
A masterpiece that the music and the lyrics listening to it give you goosebumps!!!!!!!!!!!
I Just really hope the appropriate people will create a great performance, nice clothes, background and movements.. and not something cliche like here.. they can really create a masterpiece, i hope it's not going to be a failure because the song has a lot of potential 🤩 And Klavdia is amazing!!!
Finally, an objective reaction. I of course wish her the best of luck, after all I am greek, but this isn't the type of song I would pick up my phone and vote for. I liked other entries more.
We have a winner 🎉🎉🎉
U should see the comments of greeks on the ERT youtube videos from the final, expressing huge disappointment for the staging 🤣🤣
I wasnt expecting anything actually; it s the national final, less than a month for a director to do 12 songs, and we knew that they wanted to keep it as simple as possible not to favor anyone. As u said, it s a song contest, the important thing is the song, and the song is flawless.
I think we need dramatic effects like Jamala in 2016 - the song has a similar meaning anyway. A dark or red dress, and since it s a lament/dirge i would also say no dancers. Just maybe a couple of instrument players like Serbia 2004 or Denmark 2013.
I trust the greek team will do its work and we ll see something amazing in Basel :))
She is with Panik Records. I am sure they will have the final word for the overall presentation of the song. It will be definitely something creative appealing to universal audience. They are aiming high. Refugees issue is a hot topic nowdays...Great analysis by the way :)
"Asteromáta" means "Starry-eyed" in Greek and it's a traditional styled lament.
I strongly feel that this year Greece is not just contestining in the EuroVision.
It literrary proposes an Ecoumenical Vision for Humanity through a masterpiece of art!!!
Apart from all the above, the staging does need elevation 😉👍
you are great! i really enjoy yr videos! i love yr reactions!
the v is pronounced as v and not as u like the italian/spanish/latin equivalent. and the accent is on i.
asteromata(female)=star-eyed.
greetings from greece
Thank you so much, Dimitris.
song 9,5, voice 10, electronic music 10+, clothes 4, staging 4
The shape if the dress is the greek spira symbol.
Wait to see the stage presentation 👀👀👀👀😜😜😜😜😜😜
Fokas is a very experienced chareographer. I’m sure that he will do his best for creating the best stage for this song. I agree that sometimes the singers who worked with Fokas didn’t get the good result but that was because of their songs and not staging that was made by Fokas
💸💸💸 μέχρι και για τα πλάνα που θα δείξουν πληρώνεις. Το καθετί. Χρειάζεται καλή προώθηση από τώρα ένα δυνατό βίντεο κλιπ, προώθηση κοστούμια σκηνική παρουσία φώτα ένα δυνατό στορυ για να μην περάσει αδιαφορο δεν αρκεί μόνο η φωνή της κλαυδιας..

The circle around the singer is , I believe the ambilical cord with our motherland.
good voice, lyrics and of course voice, at least there is material to build on the visual impact.
Would've been ashamed if this won't qualify after hard work budget for staging etc what we've even expected higher than ever.
I REALLY WANT HER ❤❤❤❤❤
Grci imate naših 12 poena 🇷🇸
@@vladovlado9020 talk for yourself haha
wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOVE FROM GREECE!!!!!!AFRODITE AND DIMITRIS
Klavdia herself said that this staging is NOT going to Basel. They will make it from the beginning
This song has a lot of potential to be a summer hit if it's mixed well by a dj
🇬🇷 🏆
This is a Greek 'miroloi' song (lament / funeral song),
they are sung a cappella, and there is no movement whatsoever -originally-.
It will take a genius to combine the traditional statuesque interpretation of such songs, and make it 'eurovision' with dancing / colours/etc....
its a very beautiful song though, good luck!
Eurovision needs movement and something to grab the TV audience it doesn't need anything static or boring or monochromatic or dancers that look like corpses, it needs action
I have a feeling that Klavida will have the same fate as Jonida. The song is very good, I really enjoy it but I do not think it can end up in top 10. If the staging is right this will end up somewhere between 13-18 in the final, if not then 2018 will repeat itself. Anyways I think greeks should be proud with this entry no matter the placement.
Jonida was underrated tho.
Kalispera ❤
This song talks about refugees and people that were forced to leave their birth grounds and It is a conversation between a mother and her daughter. It is a song that lives deeply in the hearts of Greeks because it speaks for the disaster that happened in 1922 in Turkey when Greeks where forced to leave their homes to survive from the Turkish army and not to be killed and raped.
You can see the full translation of the lyrics below:
My star...
My star...
Sweet mother of mine, don't cry
Even if they dress you in black
My faded body
Flames cannot defeat it
The swallows of fire
Even if they cross the seas
The soil of my roots
They never forget...
My little star-eyed one
Lean so i can kiss you
In your holy tears
To extinguish my lips
My little star-eyed one
Lean so i can catch you
My forgotten wings
To rest at last
Oh my star, my precious gem
Sweet mother of mine, don't cry
My life is a ship
That's seeking the way back
Wind on my sails
My little star-eyed one
Lean so i can catch you
My forgotten wings
To rest at last
Oh my star, my precious gem
Oh my star, my precious gem
My star...
❤🎉

Albania v Greece for the win, imagine that dynamic
👍👍👍👍
I thought the shape of the fabric and dancers was the golden spiral! It isn't?
The lyrics are imbued with pain and lament the separation inflicted by war, by adversity, forcing people to leave their roots, their loved ones... here is a translation
Oh, my sweet star!
Do not weep for me, my sweet mother,
Though black clothes you're forced to wear,
My fading body cannot succumb to flames.
For even if the swallows cross oceans ablaze, the soil their roots they will never forget.
Oh, my little star-eyed girl,
Bow down so I can kiss you,
So I might quench my thirsty lips with your hallowed tears!
Oh, my little star-eyed girl, bow close so I can touch you,
So that my long forgotten wings may rest one last time.
Oh, my star, my precious jewel!
My sweet mother, don't weep for me,
My life is like a ship,
Whose sail is seeking for a homebound wind. Oh, my little star-eyed girl, bow close so I can touch you,
So that my forgotten wings can rest one last time.
Oh, my star, my precious jewel!
Honestly, even without auto translate mode on the lyrics are a bit esoteric. The lyrics without auto translate are:
Astéri mu (My star)
Astéri mu (My star)
Glikiá mu mána min mu kles (Sweet baby, don't cry)
Mávra ke an su forúne (Even if they're dressed to mourn)
To xéthoro to sóma mu (My body, faded [i.e. transparent, like an apparition])
Flóges den to nikúne (The flames cannot claim it)
Ta chelidónia tis fotiás (The swallows of the fire [I prefer the light aspect of fire for this word, but this is an issue with translating from Greek to English, where a word like fotiá has more poetic interpretations in Greek that do not translate into English])
Thálases ke an pernúne (Even should they cross the seas)
Tu rizomú ta chómata (The soil of my roots)
Poté den lismonúne (They will never forget)
Asteromáta mou mikrí (My little star)
Gíre na se filíso (Turn so I can kiss you)
Sta ágia su ta dákria (In your sainted tears)
Ta chíli mu na svíso (My lips to quench)
Asteromáta mu mikrí (My starry eyed girl)
Gíre mu na se piáso (Turn so I can embrace you)
Ta xechasména mu fterá (My forgotten wings)
Sterná na xapostáso (I will rest at my end)
Ah astéri mu, tzivaéri mu (Oh, my star, my gem)
Glikiá mou mána min mu kles (Sweet baby, don’t cry)
Karávi ine i zoí mu (My life is a boat)
Pu psáchni gia ton girismó (That searches for the returning)
Agéra to paní mu (My sails, the wind)
Asteromáta mu mikrí (My starry eyed girl)
Gíre mu na se piáso (Turn so I can embrace you)
Ta xechasména mu fterá (My forgotten wings)
Sterná na xapostáso (I will rest at my end)
Ah astéri mu, tzivaéri mu (Oh, my star, my gem)
Ah astéri mu, tzivaéri mu (Oh, my star, my gem)
Astéri mu (My star)
meaning: it touches on several concepts, though i think most strongly it refers to the forced migrations of Greek peoples throughout history due to political and social upheavals. This of course will mirror for the greek audience the people who in modern day have migrated for economic reasons, and who greeks imagine feel a longing for the “soil of their roots.” This person is stylized as a young girl, being comforted by what is coded to be a parental (motherly) figure, but at the same time given a heavenly aspect by word choices that seem to imply this comforting person is on the edge of death, or already dead. Thereby the lyrics take on the tone of the young girl, now perhaps grown, soothing herself in regards to this death, as she recalls a scene from the past when this figure comforted her.
We will be ok if she makes it to the top 10. As for the staging, i hope fokas will not uptake the job, we need fresher point of view
I really don't know what they were thinking with that staging 😂 but thankfully this is not the actual eurovision staging
Omg this in NOT the final staging. When on the last did one country kept the staging from the national final to the Eurovision stage?
@WTtheHowling yes of course. no one said this is final.
The song is about the Pontian refugees, who fled Asia Minor and the Soviet Union , to escape prosecution and war
The ancient symbol on the floor is a spiral. spiral is the symbol of the ancient people of the eastern Mediterranean and it symbolizes the perpetual movement of beings and their course, among other really important stuff.
The choreography though needs to be enhanced.
Perfect song. The staging though needs a fresh perspective, maybe a contrast of black and white (the dress to be black in the beginning and then all white to signify bad and good) and portraying her as an angel (visual of wings) in the chaos of the bad things happening in this world such as Tempi, wars, people forced to leave their country. And hair should be a braid like an ancient greek goddess. Greek elements need to be inserted as well such as the sea, lighting up a candle when praying, greek mothers, birds, boats, wild sea, pain and hope.
write on TH-cam: The voice of Greece Klavdia feeling good or Roxanne and see Klavdia.
