Armenia’s Yan Girls bring the colour and the attitude in the first photos of their rehearsals. The staging is minimal, and focussed on the five girls, their choreography, and their singing. The background moves between graffiti-esque visuals and the lyrics in bold typeface, leaving the focus squarely on the girls and their performance.
