[IC] Pacivision Song Contest 2022
#10


Formes Point

A young woman in her early 20s is strolling on a dyke, while a drone camera is quickly moving towards her. On television it looks like the camera would zoom in.
She is wearing an orange pullover and a blue rain coat. Stopping at the end of the dyke to look over the blue Mediterranean with her equally as blue eyes, she seems to ponder what to do next. She decides to walk down from the embankment towards the beach, her movements looking a little like dancing.
When she arrived on the sand, she looks into the camera with her "signature look"...

...before the satellite solar panels suddenly arrive from the background and we're back in the almost pitch-black arena.

Exactly when the melody and humming starts, the stage background screens are fully tinted in a dark blue, similar to dried up ink of a pen. The singer, Frauke Westra, is standing way back on the stage looking onto her feet. She's wearing a black croptop, which makes her tummy visible, and a pair of black leather pants. Her curly golden red hair is worn open by her. One very striking detail (OOC: not visible in the photo below, but in the video at ca. 2:22 min) are her bright red eyelids and lips, that set themselves apart from the rest of her face.

Now she suddenly looks up and sings her first lines of text. Every few words, fitting to the beat, she takes one to two steps forward. Along with those beats, the background screen lets white lines appear, that move slightly up and down like in a heart monitor.
Quote:Zeven dagen maandag, achter elkaar aan
Seven days Monday, one after the other
Elf maanden herfst en elke dag volle maan
Eleven months of autumn and everyday full moon

She arrives at the position, where she is supposed to be for the cameras and looks for one line into the camera nearest to the right of her, then to the one on the left.

Als je eenmaal ontwaakt bent, kom je nooit meer in slaap, en
Since I awoke once, I couldn't sleep anymore
Als je eenmaal geraakt bent, dan ben je geraakt
Since I've been touched once, then I was hurt

She is walking a circle, while singing about not being able to run away and holding her eyes shut, when she tells the audience she can't look away either. Then she's simply standing at "her position" again, when singing the bridge.

Je kan niet wegrennen, als je opgesloten zit, en
I cannot run away, when I'm locked in, and
Je kan niet meer wegkijken, met je ogen dicht
I cannot look away anymore, with closed eyes
Zoveel duistere zaken, in het volle licht, еn
Too many dark things, in this full light, and
Iedereen een mening еn iedereen verhit, en
Everyone has an opinion and everyone is heated, and

Four men in a black full-bodysuit come from nowhere on the stage from the right and the left of Frauke. She looks at those left of her and starts moving her left arm in an "ecstatic snipping" kind of way to the beat provided by the stripped back bass. The lines in the background move more and also seem to become broader.
Quote:Ik weet niet wat ik moet zeggen, ik weet niet wat ik moet doen
I don't know what I have to say, I don't know what I have to do
Het enige dat ik weet, we gaan niet meer terug naar toen
Everything I know is, we can't go back in time
Onbezonnen, dagen in de zon, en
Sunshine-less days, days in the sun, and
Eindeloze nachten, pijnloze gedachte
infinite nights, painless thoughts.

Now she looks at those on the right and sings to them, rhythmically rocking her body, the last lines of the chorus.

Ik weet niet meer wie ik was voor het allemaal begon
I don't know anymore, who I was, before all this began
Ik weet ook niet wat ik nu ben behalve jong
I don't know either, what I am now, except young
Onbezonnen, dagen in de zon, en
Sunshine-less days, days in the sun, and
Eindeloze nachten, het komt wel weer
infinite nights, it will all come back

The male dancers dressed in bodysuits move towards her and start a mix out of dancing with her and pushing her around between each other, while Frauke's backing track hums in the background. One can see a sun slowly rising from the bottom of he background screen. In the following verse, she walks all across the stage, while having a thoughtful look on her face. Her head and hands gesticulate, whenever she wants to stress a line of text or rhythmic change.
Quote:Droomde nog in kleur, het leven was stabiel, maar
I've dreamt still in colours, life was stable, but
De jaren openden deuren, ook een bubbel is fragiel, en ik
The years have opened doors and a bubble is fragile, and I
Hoop met hart en ziel dat het loopt zoals ik wil, maar
Hope with all of my heart, that things work out like I want them too, but
Als je niet flexibel bent, blijft de kermis koud en kil
When I'm not flexible, the fair stays cold and dead
Ik was nog jong, dacht alles te weten
I was still young, thought I knew everything
Hoe breder mijn horizon, hoe meer ik vergeet
The broader my horizon got, the more I forgot
En hoe minder ik beter doe dan de rest
And the less I do better than the rest
Hoe meer ik het weet, hoe meer ik verpest
The more I know, the more I screw up

Now she stands still at her base position again and calmly sings the bridge

Oh, zoveel duistere zaken in het volle licht, en
Oh, too many dark things in this full light, and
Zoveel ogen en haken van 't begin tot in de kist, oh
Too many eyes and difficulties from the beginning to the grave, oh

She repeats her last chorus choreography. In the background screen, the sun is now fully visible and takes up almost all of the display's space. The edges of the circle move rhythmically with the beat.

Ik weet niet wat ik moet zeggen, ik weet niet wat ik moet doen
I don't know what I have to say, I don't know what I have to do
Het enige dat ik weet, we gaan niet meer terug naar toen
Everything I know is, we can't go back in time
Onbezonnen, dagen in de zon, en
Sunshine-less days, days in the sun, and
Eindeloze nachten, pijnloze gedachte
infinite nights, painless thoughts.
Ik weet niet meer wie ik was voor het allemaal begon
I don't know anymore, who I was, before all this began
Ik weet ook niet wat ik nu ben behalve jong
I don't know either, what I am now, except young
Onbezonnen, dagen in de zon, en
Sunshine-less days, days in the sun, and
Eindeloze nachten, het komt wel weer
infinite nights, it will all come back

In the final "humming section" she is pushed by the dancers again, but only twice. Then she makes one, two pirouettes to get out of the mess and walks smiling towards the audience (and the main camera), giving a few high fives to the audience, before eventually laying down on stage on the last beat. The screens all around her are now in a very bright yellow, as you would see it when looking into the sun.

The crowd cheers for her and she puts the mic near her mouth to mumble a "Thank you....thanks" into it. Then the next postcard is starting to roll...
