Georgia at Eurovision 2025: The Instagram story that set the internet abuzz – this is how Mariam Shengelia hints at her upcoming performance!

Georgia is known as one of the most enigmatic countries in the Eurovision scene, especially when it comes to revealing details about its performances. This year, ahead of Eurovision 2025, the country once again maintains a relatively low profile. However, intriguing first hints have now emerged directly from the representative, Mariam Shengelia, who will perform the song “Freedom”, as song number 10 in the running order of the second semi-final, scheduled for May 15th in Basel, Switzerland.

Mariam hints: Will dancers accompany her on stage?

In recent days, Mariam Shengelia posted an Instagram story in which she was seen dancing with four dancers to the Swedish song “Bara Bada Bastu”, performed by the band KAJ. Alongside the video, she wrote: “Eurovision We Are Ready”.

This video sparked a wave of rumors among Eurovision fans, suggesting that those same dancers might join her on stage at the crucial moment. However, it is important to note that the existence of the video does not serve as official confirmation that dancers will indeed be part of the actual show. As of now, both Mariam Shengelia and the Georgian national broadcaster, GPB, are refraining from providing any official details about the staging of the performance.

Direct Connection to the Erisoni Ensemble?

Although there is no unequivocal confirmation, there is a clear hint regarding the identity of the dancers. The dancers seen with Mariam Shengelia in the Instagram story appear to be from the same dance studio that participated in the filming of the “Freedom” music video-the song representing Georgia this year. Reports indicate that these are members of the Erisoni Ensemble, the Georgian National Academic Ensemble of Song and Dance.

If this is indeed the case, audiences can expect a performance that blends traditional Georgian folklore elements with a modern arrangement – a move that could give Georgia a unique advantage in the competition.

Official Details Expected Soon

Despite the wave of rumors, it should be remembered that, as of now, neither Mariam Shengelia nor the Georgian national broadcaster has officially confirmed any details regarding the stage design or the artistic concept. However, according to unofficial sources, official details are expected to be released as early as next week, with the start of rehearsals in the competition hall.

As Georgia often maintains an element of surprise until the very last moment, fans can only hope that the upcoming reveal will provide an exciting glimpse of what one of Eurovision 2025’s most intriguing participants has in store.
