Summary Dancers in pink and a half-shirtless man come from inside a big wooden crate. He alternates between looking fiercely powerful like a wild animal and harmlessly cute, respectivaly when he sings or screams coarsely versus when the melody kicks and his face beams cuteness. It's like going from big bear to teddy bear. Key dance: Screaming part: Crouching down, shaking head left and right, and other harsh movements. Singing part: Lifts an arm to the front and wiggles his fingers as he smiles. Then he raises and arm, bending the forearm, as if grabbing a waistcoat and bounces the arm left and right, in a dance that feels playful and silly.   Long description A blue light flashes from inside a wooden crate. A man peeks from inside, and starts breaking boards. He is kinda shirtless, only with a bright green shirt with nothing below the collabone, and spiky black pants. Then he climbs to the top of the crate and we see his threathening giant shadow projected behind. He moves like a ...

In Corpore Sano (Serbia) - 2022

Imagem
Serbia - In Corpore Sano It's an eerie atmosphere, resembling an insane asylum or a cult. The singer sits with a bowl of water in front and stares directly at us. In the shadow behind, monks form a semicircle around her, occasionally kneeling to her to dry her hands with white towels. Everything is very captivating as they stay mostly still and expressionless. Key dance: In the chorus, one hand is slowly raised to the front, palm up, and the other right over it, not touching; then, the higher hand claps on the lower one repeatedly. Then, the back of both hands is presented to us at face level, and they rotate them back and forth in a rythmic motion. Long Description The singer sits at the center. Sitting on a chair and resting the arms on the armrests, she's the only person lighted up, on stage, in her white shirt. The shirt has a red fluffy handkerchief, matching her red lipstick, and a very small wooden cross pinned on it. After she sings the first sentence, captions read: ...

Switzerland - The Code - Nemo In a dark stage, a young person climbs and balances on a big metallic moving disc. In the most intense parts, some spare white lights simulate fast rotating movement. The person has short curly hair, a large, fluffy pink and white coat, and a pink ballet skirt and collants. Long description Close-up to the back of a young person who quickly turns around to us. They gesture with an arm showing us the stage, and invites us closer with their other hand, as they then walk around a big structure chained to the ceiling and come back to us.  As the pre-chorus starts, he pants as he climbs and balances on a large metallic disk, posed diagonally like a giant spinner toy. At the highest point, the disc descends to the floor with Nemo, and the other side goes up like a seesaw..  Nemo lies on the disc and sits again. As they sing "I broke the code", the left and right part of his face are lighted up, alternatedly.  When the song intensifies, Nemo is up a...

Welcome!

This project aims to provide some descriptions of Eurovision songs' performances.  I called it "audiodescription", but that's a bit of a lie - it's more like a brief summary of what's going on visually. You can take a peek before watching the act or right at the start. It's helpful for blind and low vision watchers. If you want to contribute, reach out to me on discord: ptpt9887.
