The mysterious figure referenced in the lyrics of Shh, the song with which Theo Evan represents Cyprus in Eurovision 2025, has been revealed.

According to what Theo Evan disclosed, the Vitruvian Man, from Da Vinci’s famous sketch, is the secret that Theo Evan invites us to keep—one that is essentially unveiled through the stage performance conceived by Sergio Jaen, the artistic director of the entry. It is a universal symbol of the harmony of the human body and, more broadly, of the universe.

Today, for the very first time, I stepped onto the Eurovision stage. With this first step, a promise becomes reality — the time has come to break the silence. “Shh” is inspired by the Vitruvian Man, Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic work. As Theo Evan explains, it’s not merely a visual symbol of perfection, but an allegory — the inner struggle between order and chaos, between perfection and human imperfection. We wanted to show that even the ‘perfect man’ has secrets. That perfection is a mask — and behind it hides a person no one has truly seen. Every lyric in this song carries meaning. Every moment says something different. When I step on the Eurovision stage, I don’t just want to perform a song — I want to share an idea. A mystery that has been in front of us for more than 500 years. Now that you know… Shh. Let’s keep the secret — until we reveal it together on stage.

Who is the Vitruvian Man?

The Vitruvian Man is a famous drawing with accompanying notes by Leonardo da Vinci, created around 1490 in one of his notebooks. It depicts a figure in two overlapping positions with arms and legs extended, simultaneously inscribed within a circle and a square. The drawing and text are often referred to as the Canon of Proportions.

The image itself is often used as a symbolic representation of the essential symmetry of the human body, and by extension, of the universe as a whole.

Cyprus’ entry has already sparked anticipation for a performance that seems to hide much more than meets the eye.
