Eurovision 2024: Cyprus’ Second Rehearsal!
The second rehearsals of Eurovision 2024 have started! The first artist to set foot on the Eurovision stage of Malmö Arena for today is Silia Kapsis from Cyprus, with her energetic bop ”Liar”!
Who is Silia Kapsis?
Despite only being 17 years old, Silia Kapsis is already a succesful artist in Australia where she resides, as she has her own TV show in Nickelodeon Australia!
She sings and dances amazingly, and as she revealed to Eurovisionfun her big childhood dream was to perform on the Eurovision stage.
Silia is a singer of Cypriot and Greek descent, born in Sydney, Australia, on December 5, 2006 to the Cypriot singer Giorgos Kapsis and the Greek lawyer and former dancer Despina Saivanidis. She has been performing since the age of 4 and has had extensive training with elite artists at the top of their respective fields.
She has been the recipient of numerous awards including the Bobby McCloughan Creative Arts Award (130 Anniversary Award) at Claremont College, the St Vincent’s College Madame Christian Scholarship for Singing and most recently, she was the recipient of the Village Nation Performing Arts College Scholarship for All – Round Triple Threat Performer.
She composed her first single “Who Am I?” at the age of 12, but it was released later, only in 2022. Since then she has released three more singles – “No Boys Allowed”, in March 2023, “Disco Dancer”, in May 2023, and “Night Out”, in November 2023.
The Rehearsal
Silia is only 17 but she is killing this second rehearsal. No stage props, but lots of swirly green-blue and red graphics on the LED backdrop and floor. The LED graphics look like watery swirls and sine waves and they’re all choreographed to the beat of the music. Also should mention that the dancers pull their shirts off in the final chorus.

Once again, the performance is super energetic and set the party for the first semi final. Silia is more comfortable on the stage and she seems to enjoy even more.
The whole performance is a high-energy routine with a big dance break, in the bridge, before the final chorus. Fixed some TV footage requested by the Cypriot delegation from production and the team is very pleased with the final result!
First semi final starts with a BANG!
