TIME FOR THE GREEKS TO RISE UP IN THE AIR

Copenhagen, Denmark -
It certainly is the case of Rise Up in the Greek entry, as one
performer on the stage will be rising up on the trampoline, along
with Freaky Fortune feat Riskykidd, and that is Arthour Geremyan,
who is a gymnast and national champion on the trampoline.
Going up, up, up
Geremyan is actually from Armenia, however he was a member of the Greek
national team in 1996, and has five gold medals as a Balkan champion,
and was eighth in 1998 in the European championship. just as singers
have to warm up, he too was warming up on the trampoline whilst the
artists were taking their positions on the stage. He performs some
high leaps and rotations on the trampoline.
Although Freaky Fortune and RiskyKidd start the song centre stage in
front of the trampoline, Nikolas Raptakis (from Freaky Fortune) and
RiskyKidd both move out to the two diametric extensions of the stage,
Towards the end of the song, Nikolas and Riskykidd both join Arthour
Geremyan on the trampoline to Rise Up, though their moves are not
quite so complicated, but nevertheless quite energetic whilst still
singing. In total they rehearsed the song three times this afternoon,
which given their exhausting routine was probably more than enough!
RiskyKidd explained that they have been working on their stage
presentation for around two months. They wanted something to convery
the image of Rise Up and came up with the trampoline idea. However
they first had to learn how to use the rampoline itself, before
progressing onto some moves.
Everything is very much black and white with the bright white lighting
and a dark background. At the start of the song the cube appears to
be being built from scratch as the lights extend out along the lines
of the cube until the whole cube is totally lit up, then plunged into
darkness again.
The background graphics emphasise further the cube set design, with
cubes expanding, contracting, flying around and pulsating to the
rhythm of the song.
