Switzerland at Eurovision 2025: Zoë Më who will perform her song “Voyage” in Eurovision 2025, has revealed her performance director!

Switzerland’s Eurovision 2025 representative, Zoë Më, who will perform the song “Voyage” in the first semi-final of Eurovision 2025 on May 13 in Basel, Switzerland (and automatically advance to the Grand Final), has sparked significant interest among Eurovision fans. It has now been revealed that her performance will be creative and captivating, thanks to a collaboration with one of Europe’s most provocative and intriguing creators, Theo Adams, who will direct her stage show.

To bring Zoë Më’s vision to life, British interdisciplinary artist, stage director, and creator Theo Adams has been enlisted for the task. Known for his dark, theatrical, emotional, and occasionally unsettling aesthetic, Adams founded the “Theo Adams Company” in 2008—a unique artistic collective comprising dancers, musicians, actors, and designers. The group collaborates on impressive theatrical projects with leading institutions and luxury brands such as Tate Modern, Saatchi Gallery, and Louis Vuitton.

According to Adams, the performance will explore “an inner journey through trauma, hope, and beauty,” featuring bold direction, powerful visuals, and unexpected elements. The promises are grand, and expectations are high.

A Bold Concept for Switzerland’s Eurovision Stage

While full details of the performance concept have not been disclosed, it is known that the stage will integrate a modern-gothic aesthetic with complex visual elements and potentially unprecedented theatricality for Eurovision. Judging by Adams’ past work, audiences can expect an experience that blends opera-like spectacle with performance art and a touch of contemporary pop music. Zoë Më stated: “My staging will be very different; there’s a desire to offer something bold. It will be a special show that’s slightly outside conventional boundaries.”

The choice of Theo Adams signals that Zoë Më is not “just here to sing.” She aims to tell a story, break norms—and perhaps even secure Switzerland a promising spot on the scoreboard.

“I don’t want to go against the flow. On the contrary, I want to strengthen what makes me unique—Zoë,” she added. “In my view, a good Eurovision song is one that delves deep into the artist and amplifies it. That’s exactly what I want to achieve with my performance.”

Switzerland’s Grand Final Position

According to the draw, Switzerland will perform in 19th place in the running order in the Grand Final, following the random selection that took place during the Heads of Delegation meeting in Basel on May 17th. As mentioned, Switzerland does not need to go through the semi-finals, as it is the host country and the winner of the previous Eurovision contest.

The Importance of Switzerland’s Position in the Final

The position that Switzerland received in the Eurovision 2025 Grand Final could play a significant role in the presentation of her song and her chances of winning, especially with so much competition. As Zoë Më‘s song “Voyage” is expected to be powerful and emotional, this could be a major factor in Switzerland’s performance and appeal to the audience.

Semi-Final Draw

As part of the preparations for Eurovision 2025, the draw to determine the countries’ placements in the semi-finals already took place in January. However, the specific draw to determine the positions in the Grand Final will occur at a later date. The full Grand Final draw will be revealed closer to the Eurovision period, and the results will be published shortly after.

Switzerland’s Future at Eurovision

This year looks challenging for Switzerland, especially after their surprising win in the previous year, which raised high expectations for the country in this year’s contest. Switzerland managed to avoid competing in the semi-finals, and thanks to this opportunity, the country is eager to perform in the final with a strong and impactful song.

Regarding the choice of Zoë Më, the artist representing Switzerland, it is expected that she will bring her unique musical style with the song “Voyage” in the Grand Final. All eyes in the Eurovision world will be on her performance, which is expected to be one of the most captivating of Eurovision 2025.

The song was selected by an internal committee of the national broadcaster. The song deals with a complex and deep relationship in which the speaker finds themselves in a complicated and new emotional reality. It describes the experiences of self-discovery and exploring a new world through innocent eyes, full of passion but sometimes unaware. The speaker expresses the emotional conflicts they are going through, between unrequited and painful love and feelings of heartbreak and helplessness. However, they convey the desire to stay close to the person they love, even if it involves suffering.
