Who is Belarus’ Eurovision singer Zena?

What will Belarus’ Eurovision 2019 song look like on stage?

Now, we're fans of a box on wheels as much as the next person. But Zena has designed her entire performance around them. She'll sit on them. She'll dance around them. And, if we're really lucky, we might even see her move one of two.

What a time to be alive.
