Andrea Marici, the dancer from Ferrara at Eurovision
«Nutsa Buzaladze is a wonderful artist, already an American Idol finalist, duetting with a pop icon like Kylie Minogue – says the dancer -. I’m having an unusual experience with her: right from the start he wanted us all in Georgia to build the Eurovision show together. In doing so, in addition to contributing to the harmony between us, he also made me discover his nation better.”
In the team of the artist who brings Georgia to the race in Malmö
On the border between Europe and Asia, once a Soviet Republic and even before that annexed to the Tsarist empire, in March 2022, Georgia has applied for membership of the European Union.

«It will be a performance with a strong impact, also thanks to the message of the song, in which Nutsa Buzaladze says “We build empires only to watch them burn.” How much more current? – reflects Marici – Man always tends to destroy what he has built. The only way to put out these fires is through love.” As for the show, «we have changed the choreography at least 10 times, every time to perfect the show as best as possible: we wanted and want to give our best”, says the dancer from Ferrara, who now has more than 13 years of experience in the sector under his belt.
