Louane from France has revealed the creative team who will create her Eurovision performance. It comes as the Eurovision Song Contest edges ever closer.
Creative team with winning experience
In a post revealed on France Télévisions’ official Eurovision Instagram page, Frederik Rydman was revealed as the creative director for the show. Rydman already has extensive experience in Eurovision, having choreographed Nemo’s winning performance in Malmö last year. On top of his, he is responsible for Käärijä’s staging in Liverpool, as well as The Rasmus’ staging in Turin. Outside of the Eurovision bubble, he also has experience in working with world-class artists, including Avicii, Robyn and Darin.
Louane also revealed the information to That Eurovision Site during Eurovision in Concert in Amsterdam. When asked what her plans for staging were, Louane gave little away. However, she confirmed that Rydman had been brought on to the team to stage her performance. She added that her performance in Basel will be very different to that of her Stade de France recital.
