LELÉKA took the stage as performer number 12 with the song Ridnym, which had already attracted attention before the contest thanks to its tenderness and emotional depth.

For the stage performance, LELÉKA chose a white outfit with black accents, leading viewers to compare her to a stork.

The singer wore a white dress over trousers, while layered fabric elements moved together with her and enhanced the dramatic effect of the performance.

Particular attention from the audience was drawn to the ending of the staging, when the light-colored costume gradually transformed into red, resembling a theatrical curtain.
