Starlight Scenery and Starlight Rental contributed to Ukraine’s stage performance at the Eurovision Song Contest 2026

The final of the milestone 70th Eurovision Song Contest has concluded in Vienna. This year’s winner was Bulgaria, represented by DARA with the song “Bangaranga”. Ukraine’s representative, LELÉKA, finished in the top ten with her song “Ridnym”.

LELÉKA’s performance was built around a highly precise stage language: her voice, the bandura, lighting, wind, costume and fabrics came together to create a unified visual story.

The performance was staged by a team led by director Illia Dutsyk. LELÉKA’s stage look was created by Ukrainian designer Lilia Litkovska and stylist Marharyta Shekel. The fabric, movement and silhouette continued the stork motif without depicting the bird literally, instead conveying a sense of flight, space and inner strength.

The Starlight Scenery team created large-scale moving textile panels for the performance, which became an integral part of its visual dramaturgy. Starlight Rental contributed to the technical execution of the stage concept, providing the rigging, securing and movement mechanics for the structures throughout the performance.
