Part I:
[edit]Act I: Inner Beauty - The Temple
[edit]The stadium lights dim and the audience hushes as the sound of harp strings fills the air, evoking the mythological beauty of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. As the music builds, the stage is obscured by a veil of rose petals, and Lena emerges from within it, garbed in a flowing pink gown and golden heels, embodying the essence of Aphrodite.
Lena's voice, pure and sweet as a lyre, carries over the audience as she sings "Temple", an unreleased track that speaks of the divinity within every soul, drawing parallels to the temple of Aphrodite. The crowd roars with excitement as the pulsating electronic beats and the shimmering gold jumpsuit she wears reinforce the goddess's regal and powerful presence.
As the song ends, Lena introduces herself and thanks the audience for their presence. She then sings "Pink Incarnate", a song that speaks of the joy and passion of love, akin to Aphrodite's domain. The playful lyrics and catchy melody have the audience dancing and singing along as Lena's performance sets the tone for the rest of the concert.
Next, Lena performs "Aphrodite", the title track from her "Mythology" album. The song's synth-pop sound and catchy chorus have the audience swaying and singing along, as Lena's voice evokes the alluring and hypnotic nature of the goddess herself. Lena's performance is so passionate and emotive, it feels like the goddess of love is speaking through her.
Following "Aphrodite," Lena performs "Siren Song". The stage's lights turn blue and purple, creating a moody atmosphere that evokes the Sirens' haunting sound. Lena's voice is ethereal and otherworldly as she sings about the sailors lured by the Sirens' sweet songs. The audience is spellbound by the song's pulsating beat and ominous synthesizers, as Lena's vocals seem to echo throughout the stadium, much like the Siren's call.
Finally, Lena performs "Silver", the hyperpop track that closes out the first act. The song's glitchy electronic beats and distorted vocals speak of the goddess's beauty and desire, in a modern context. Lena's lyrics about embracing her imperfections and finding beauty in the flaws reflect the essence of Aphrodite's love, which is unconditional and without judgement.
As "Silver" comes to an end, Lena thanks the audience for their presence, promising more excitement in the upcoming acts. The lights dim, and rose petals rain from the stage as Lena exits, leaving the audience awestruck by the beauty and power of Aphrodite.
Act II: Into Fire / The Archer
[edit]The lights dim as smoke billows out from the stage, reminiscent of the volcanic eruptions of Mount Etna, where the Greek god Hephaestus had his forge. Lena appears standing in the midst of the smoke, dressed in fiery red like the flames of the forge. She launches into "Smoke", her voice ringing out powerfully over the heavy beats and trap-influenced production. The lyrics allude to the addiction that comes with being drawn to the flame, just like how the gods were drawn to the forge of Hephaestus.
Without missing a beat, she transitions into "Embers", the driving guitar riffs and anthemic chorus conjuring images of sparks flying from the forge. Lena sings about the aftermath of a failed relationship, likening it to the ashes and debris left behind by Hephaestus' fiery creations.
As the song ends, Lena takes a moment to catch her breath before introducing her special guests, boygenius. The lights dim, and the three musicians step out onto the stage, each taking their place behind their respective instruments. Together, they play a haunting rendition of "Stairwell", its minimalist production and haunting lyrics echoing the desolation of the volcano and the loneliness of Hephaestus.
As boygenius leaves the stage, Lena takes a moment to thank them before launching into "Arrows". The synth-heavy production and driving beat pump up the crowd, and Lena sings about the strength that comes from overcoming obstacles, just like how Artemis' arrows strike true against her foes. The chorus invokes the image of Artemis' bow, a symbol of her power and precision.
Finally, Lena wraps up Act II with "Top of the Hill", an upbeat indie pop song that encourages the audience to keep pushing forward and reach new heights, just like how Artemis leads her hunting party to the top of the mountain. The lyrics speak of conquering fears and obstacles, like how Artemis hunts down the fiercest beasts in the wild.
As the song ends, Lena takes a bow, and the lights dim, signaling the end of the second act, leaving the audience energized and inspired by the power of Greek mythology.
Act III: Moonstone
[edit]This act is based on the Selene portion of the "Mythology" movie. As the lights dim, the audience hears the sound of waves crashing and seagulls calling, signaling the start of the third act. Smoke fills the stage, and a giant crescent moon descends from the ceiling, casting an eerie glow on the stadium.
The opening notes of "Night Swimming" fill the air, and Lena appears on stage, dressed in a flowing white gown. The production on this track is more atmospheric than the previous songs, with dreamy synths and a subtle beat. Lena's vocals are stripped down and vulnerable, reflecting the song's theme of taking risks and embracing the unknown.
As "Night Swimming" comes to an end, Lena introduces the next track, "The Moon." The stage lights up in a soft blue hue, and Lena begins to float up in the air above the audience, suspended by wires. The song's dreamy indie rock sound and melancholic lyrics about isolation and loneliness perfectly match the surreal atmosphere of the moment.
As Lena descends back to the stage, the lights turn red and the haunting opening notes of "Ghost" fill the air. The song's R&B styled pop sound features vocals from SZA, and the lyrics explore the concept of feeling like a ghost, invisible to the world and feeling lost in life. Lena and SZA trade off verses in the song, creating a haunting atmosphere that perfectly matches the lyrics. The stage becomes shrouded in mist as the song reaches its climax.
Next up is "Gravity," a mid-tempo pop song that explores the push and pull of a relationship. The song's electronic and acoustic elements create a captivating mix, with a catchy chorus and a driving beat. The stage lights up in a bright white hue, with flashing strobe lights and lasers adding to the song's electrifying energy.
Finally, Lena performs "Cherry," a sultry pop ballad that showcases her more vulnerable side. The song's stripped-down instrumental arrangement, featuring piano and strings, perfectly complements the lyrics about a tumultuous relationship. As the song ends, Lena thanks the audience for their energy and support throughout the concert.
The lights dim once again, and smoke fills the stage as Lena exits, leaving the crowd buzzing with excitement and anticipation for the encore.
Act IV: Delusion / Isolation
[edit]As the final act of the concert's first part, Act IV begins with the stage going dark. Suddenly, bright, pulsing lights illuminate the stage and Lena appears in a dramatic and striking outfit - a black and silver sequined jumpsuit with a long, flowing cape. The stage is set up with a minimalist design, with a grand piano in the center and a band of live musicians off to the side.
As the opening notes of "Desire" begin, the stage lights up in a bright, fiery orange, with smoke machines creating a hazy, mystical atmosphere. Dancers dressed in red and gold move around the stage, portraying the passionate and intense feeling of desire that the song describes. Lena is the focal point of the stage, dancing and singing with powerful vocals as she moves around the stage.
As "Need" begins, the stage lighting shifts to a softer, more romantic mood. A single spotlight illuminates Lena as she sits at the grand piano, playing the opening notes of the song. The dancers disappear into the shadows as Lena's vocals take center stage. The lighting is minimal, with just a few soft, warm lights casting a glow around the stage.
"Twin Flame" sees the stage lighting shift again, this time to a cool blue and purple. The dancers return to the stage, this time dressed in shades of blue and silver. The music is more upbeat, with a lively bassline and catchy chorus. Lena moves around the stage with confidence, her energy and presence commanding the attention of the audience.
As "Mythology" begins, the stage lighting becomes more introspective, with a dimmer, more muted palette. Lena sits at the piano once again, this time dressed in a more understated outfit - a simple white blouse and black slacks. The dancers are gone, and the focus is on Lena's vocals and the melancholic melody of the song. The lighting creates a dreamy, ethereal atmosphere that matches the introspective nature of the lyrics.
Finally, "Reflections" begins, and the stage lighting shifts once again. The stage goes dark, with just a single spotlight illuminating Lena as she stands at the microphone. The song is more stripped-down than the others, with a focus on piano and strings. The lighting creates a haunting atmosphere, with shadows and flickering lights creating an almost ghostly effect. Lena's vocals are vulnerable and raw, conveying the message of self-discovery and moving forward.
As the final notes of "Reflections" fade away, Lena takes a bow and exits the stage, leaving the audience in awe of her powerful performance. The lights dim, and the first part of the concert comes to a close.
Part II:
[edit]Act V: Nihilism
[edit]As the lights dimmed for Act V, the stage transformed into a mystical forest, complete with vines and leaves hanging from the rafters. The dim lighting provided an eerie atmosphere that matched the introspective and existential themes of the act.
As Lena emerged from the fog, she was adorned in a flowing white dress that was reminiscent of a Greek goddess. The dress had golden accents and was complemented by a pair of matching strappy sandals. The ensemble was a nod to the Greek mythological themes of the act, particularly Dionysus, the god of wine and pleasure, and Momus, the god of satire.
As the first notes of "Nihilism" began, the dancers emerged from the shadows, their movements fluid and graceful like the vines that hung around them. The dancers' costumes featured touches of gold and green, reflecting the natural elements of the forest.
As "24" started to play, the lighting shifted to a brighter hue, illuminating the stage in a warm and sunny glow. The dancers' movements became more upbeat and lively, reflecting the song's message of seizing the day and making the most of every moment.
As the grunge-inspired "Thrills" began, the lighting shifted to a more sinister red, and the dancers' movements became more erratic and intense. The stage became shrouded in a dense fog, and the dancers moved like frenzied followers of Dionysus, the god of wine and pleasure.
For "Keep Quiet," the lighting softened to a gentle blue, and the dancers' movements became more introspective and contemplative. The stage was shrouded in a misty haze, symbolizing the secrets and hidden information that the song's lyrics explore.
Finally, for "My Pleasure," the lighting shifted to a bright and playful pink, and the dancers moved with a sense of joyful irreverence. The stage became adorned with playful props and set pieces, nodding to Momus, the god of satire. The dancers wore costumes that were whimsical and playful, with touches of gold and silver to reflect Momus' penchant for mischief.
Throughout the act, the instrumentals shifted from moody synth-pop to grunge-influenced alternative rock to playful indie rock, reflecting the diverse themes and styles of the songs. Overall, the Act V was a dramatic and visually stunning journey through the introspective and existential themes of Lena's music, while nodding to the rich mythology of ancient Greece.
Act VI: Insanity
[edit]The stage goes dark for a few moments after the intermission, and then a single spotlight illuminates Lena, who is dressed in a black and red corset, black fishnet stockings, and knee-high combat boots. The lighting is dim and moody, with dark purple and red hues filling the stage, creating an eerie and intense atmosphere. As the opening chords of "Cruelty" begin, Lena starts swaying back and forth to the beat.
The song's instrumentals are heavy on the electric guitar, with the driving drumbeat and bassline providing a strong rhythm. Lena's vocals are powerful and intense, as she sings about the destructive nature of humanity. Her movements are aggressive and frenzied, with sharp head snaps and body jerks that match the song's hard-hitting sound.
As "Cruelty" fades out, the stage goes dark again for a few moments. When the lights come back up, Lena has changed into a white toga and gold leaf crown, embodying the goddess Athena. The lighting has also shifted, now brighter and more vibrant, with shades of blue and white. The audience can see dancers in similar togas, performing intricate movements and flowing choreography.
The second song, "Treetop," is a more mellow and introspective track. Lena's vocals are soft and dreamy, with a gentle acoustic guitar providing the main instrumental accompaniment. The dancers perform a flowing, graceful routine, with movements that evoke the feeling of being up in the treetops. The lighting shifts between soft greens and blues, evoking the feeling of being in a forest.
As "Treetop" comes to a close, the lighting shifts to a deep red as Lena changes into a black leather dress and dons a Medusa headpiece. The dancers return, now with snakes adorning their hair. The third song, "Limbo," begins with a haunting synth melody, slowly building in intensity as the drums and guitars kick in. Lena's vocals are intense and powerful once again, singing about the fear and uncertainty that comes with the unknown.
The dancers perform a frenzied, almost chaotic routine, with sharp movements and jerky motions that match the song's frantic energy. The lighting is dim and moody once again, with flashes of red and black adding to the sense of unease.
After "Limbo" comes to a close, Lena changes into a white flowing gown, with her hair loose and flowing. The lighting has shifted to a calming blue, with soft clouds projected onto the backdrop of the stage. The dancers return, now dressed as winged angels, performing gentle, flowing movements that match the mood of the song. "Candle," the fourth song in the set, is a soft and emotional ballad, with Lena's vocals filled with longing and sadness.
As "Candle" comes to a close, the dancers leave the stage and Lena is alone, bathed in a soft blue light. She changes into a sleek black jumpsuit with gold detailing, embodying the god Hermes. The lighting shifts to a bright yellow, with flashes of gold and silver. The final song of the set, "Pool," begins with a driving synth beat and Lena's vocals taking on a more playful, flirtatious tone.

The lighting shifts between bright colors, evoking the feeling of being at a pool party. The audience can feel the excitement and energy building as the song reaches its climax, with Lena and the dancers all moving and grooving to the beat.
As the song fades out, the stage goes dark once
Act VII: Darkness / The Light
