   #7 - Semi-Final 2

   S67:E25/11/2023

   In the Second Semi-Final, the theme “Music Unites Generations” explored the connection between Ukrainian generations and their music. Mariya Yaremchuk, who represented Ukraine in 2014, led a montage of some of the country's most well-known musical pieces. The performance travelled through time and ended with a collaborative performance from rapper OTOY, 14-year-old Junior Eurovision representative Zlata Dziunka, and Mariya, showing that music is the light that overcomes darkness. Another interval act, a performance called “Be Who You Wanna Be”, celebrated how Eurovision was a place for everyone. Three extraordinary drag performers led a high-energy pop routine with a troupe of dancers. They represented the huge spectrum of fans—regardless of age, nationality, or background—who revelled in being part of the contest. The medley of songs and incredible staging made it a performance to be remembered.
