The final details and touches of Marina Satti’s Eurovision 2024 performance have been completed.
The Greek Eurovision 2024 representative, Marina Satti, revealed to Greek journalist, Tasos Rizopoulos, the final details of her staging performance which are currently being wrapped up, before rehearsals begin. Greece’s artistic staging director – Fokas Evangelinos, is satisfied with final presentation of Satti’s performance with only a few minor details and touches left to finish.
Rizopoulos revealed on the Greek morning TV show, Super Katerina, that Satti’s styling for her stage performance will be “unexpected” – as there will be changes from the music video. Previous rumors regarding the Greek performance only utilising a mono-camera technique (one camera) have also been confirmed, as “there will be a lot of dancing along the 18 metre-long stage plan”.
It has been hinted the mono-camera will be utilised for 2 and a half minutes, with the last portion of the performance utilising other camera shots. The single-camera shot is to be in a similar vane to Satti’s previous hit single “Mantissa”.
The Greek singer has also spoken to ERT, before she is due to leave for Malmö. Satti spoke about the different viewpoints of “ZARI”, as well as her overall experience since being announced as Greece’s representative for Eurovision 2024.
It makes sense that not everyone likes a song. Obviously I know we took some risks especially in Europe that might not sound familiar to a lot of people. The idea for me is for my song to evoke emotions either positive or negative. I definitely want this project to express young people as well.

Greece debuted in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974 when they were represented by Marinella and the song “Krasi, thalassa kai t’agori mou” which finished in 11th place with 7 points. Three years later Greece earned their first top 5 finish with Paschalis, Marianna, Robert, and Bessy who finished in 5th place with “Mathima solfege”. In 2001 Greece achieved their first top 3 result with Antique and the song “I Would Die For You”. The song became a European hit and charted across the continent. In 2005 Helena Paparizou returned to the Eurovision stage as a solo artist and brought Greece their first, and to date only, victory. Her song “My Number One” won with 230 points, beating runners-up Malta by 38 points.
