i'm just curious lol
Ukraine brings coffin/piano and is being literal by burning the stairs (well not ladder, but close enough) and it "omg Ukraine always brings great show"
Belarus goes for metaphor/allegory and "this is ridiculous, LMFAO"
had the acts been reversed, Belarus would be slammed for silly coffin an d Ukraine praised for an artsy show. (ETA I enjoy both shows it's just funny how reputation works for and against a country)
btw, not sure if they talked about it in any press events, but the guy behind the show talked about his vision.
Basically love is a part of us, we are made of love. rose is the representation of that love. The guy gives a part of himself to a girl (he's made of roses in the end, not "overtaken by the disease after being shot with the rose lol). She at first is excited, but then, "shit happens" and she throws that love back at him by shooting and wounding him.
In the end though it shows that even though he gave part of himself away, and then "blew up" with pain and devastation of lost love he still has more to give...
