Yes, Stoic Dotté is his real name. He goes by Stoic and is a 19-year old boy with great artistic creativity. In fact, he wrote this song himself, called Heaven in Mind, and the Savieran delegation trusted him enough to give him full creative control over his performance.
He will be joined by 5 other backing performers, one of which is a lookalike of Britonish artist Mini-Surrey North. Such that, that particular backing performer goes by the stage name Surrey.
For the big show, Stoic decided that the staging was to be as avant-garde as the song. For the performance he was wearing a big black coat over a striped white-and-red dress shirt, with black pants. The backing performers, meanwhile, wear all-white outfits. The two male performers are each wearing a simple white t-shirt and pants. The three female performers, meanwhile, wear white crop tops with subtle shoulder pads, and white pants. Minimalist, but somehow almost futuristic.
The song begins. The intro consists mainly of clicking and snapping noises and a bit of bass synth percussion. As this goes on, the performers are standing on the middle of the main stage, with Stoic not too far away from them. They stand still, in front of the LCD background screens that shine a static white. The stage lights, also a bright, clinical white, are flashing to the beat. Although the audience can't see it, the camera through a few overhead angles shows that the LCD floor shows this abstract graphic that looks lik a white waffle or grid on a black background. This shape expands and retracts along with the beat.
After like 16 beats, it's Stoic's cue to begin singing. He starts low, with the notes of the song getting higher before the backing performers subtly vocalize. This repeats a few times, especially as the notes to the first line are repeated two more times, before the last line of this part sounds sonically different. The camera focuses on him at first, portraying an angle that shows nothing but him singing this first line into the camera. After singing this first line, the backing performers quickly adjust their positions, still standing in unique angles, before the camera goes back to Stoic for the second line. After he sings that second line, the backing performers all align themselves to face a 2 o'clock direction (facing the audience). Repeat again for the third line, and then the backing performers readjust themselves so that three of them face forward but a male backing performer faces the right, and Surrey to the left. In the last line of the next part, the camera zooms in from the back of the arena, and it is seen that each of the backing performers are moving their upper bodies to the rhythm of the last line below.
Glistening around the wonder
Stroll into the goal, no blunder
Clapping on the scene, I mumble:
“Clap to the clap, it’s all fun ’til it comes to mind”
Afterwards, Stoic and the backing performers all face the right, that 2 o'clock direction, and Stoic begins walking as he sings this next part. The backing performers walk as well, but at a slower pace, and they take turns, three of them bobbing forward while the other two walk erect, and then the two take a step and bow forward while the three straighten themselves, and repeat. They were walking almost kind of as if they were ploughing. As he sings this part, by the way, it is musically just a repetition of the above verse. The instruments are largely still percussion — I wouldn't exactly call them clicking noises, but there are some clapping-like noises and a low bass drum that doubles as providing the musical baseline of the song.
After the second line of the below part, they all straighten themselves and face forward. Now Stoic subtly retracts his chest inwards and pushes it forward to the beat, as if to symbolize a beating heart. The performers follow suit, but less subtly. In the fourth line of the next part, Surrey points upwards towards that 2 o'clock direction, and the other backing performers turn to look in that direction, but in sync with the rhythm of the song. In the last line of the next part, they all rapidly bop their shoulders up and down to the beat, as if laughing.
If you wanna see all over
Setting foot here on your clovers
The hot bad bitch within your brother
I wanna walk the walk, talk the talk
I wanna walk the talk tonight
Now comes the chorus which is musically interesting. Again, not a lot of instruments, but a synth-like sound buzzes through, adding some musicality to the song (i.e. it's not percussion). Stoic and the singers harmonize well with it, creating a sweet, enjoyable music experience. And meanwhile for this next part, I'm sure there is a little subtle choreography but you can't really tell as the cameras show the stage from a distance. But what is visible is that the stage lights are now flashing at incredibly fast speeds, at a seizure-inducing pace that has never been used at WV. In the background LCD screen, previously the white had been "disintegrating" into boxes, but this time black lines filled the screen, slowly expanding and turning the background screen black.
But if this life is borrowed
How do we get to grow?
If we win the maze, to and fro
The heaven in mind, it says to us:
Now lines of white trickle from above the LCD screens. Meanwhile the backing performers turn to a 8 o'clock direction and start walking to the beat, whereas Stoic walks to the same rhythm but turning at a 3 o'clock angle. The backing performers slow down as Stoic approaches the last line, and singing the last line Stoic faces straight into the camera. In this last line, the backing performers seem to whisper the line whereas Stoic sings it out. It is known that he also whispers this last line of the chorus in the studio version, but that doesn't matter here.
“Overcome the sorrow”
Like a dutiful prince that knows
With a seismic act, face the fact:
I wanna go to heaven, Jack
Immediately after singing that last line, Stoic spins 3 times, and then gets on both his feet, knees slightly bent as he faces down, recuperating from the stunt. Musically, the clicking noises and percussion return again — this is musically much like the intro, except now this takes the role of an instrumental break. As the LCD screens become filled with pure, clinical white, the backing performers are all facing forward, making some movements with their heads and feet in tune with the beat.
Not long after, Stoic stands straight up again and everyone on stage bows their heads down, before then jumping, turning 90° to the right. They then dramatically jerk their heads up, looking above, before turning 180° counter-clockwise, facing the direction in which they had previously turned their backs upon. Now, the performers begin to get into formation for the next verse, and Stoic walks towards them. Specifically, the performers are all facing different directions. Stoic reaches them and gets down, laying on his back as Surrey — the backing performer facing the audience — puts her foot on Stoic. The plan was for her to "step" on Stoic's belly, but he must've misjudged his alignment and Surrey ends up stepping on his crotch instead.
Stoic sings the next 3 lines of the song below from this position, facing upward into the camera, which has a top-down view of the situation. The floor screens once again form that waffle-like shape that expands and retracts to the beat. The all-white background LCD screens look like they're threatening to disintegrate into boxes, which can be seen because the camera angles switch a few times. They do so to the beat, just like the lights flash to the beat of the music.
Musically, just as you can see it is lyrically too, this is just a repetition of the second chorus from earlier. And in the fourth line of the next part, Stoic begins getting back up, which he does, but he seems to struggle to stand up straight. In an attempt to straighten his legs in a way that makes it look like part of the choreography, he takes a few steps forward dramatically to the beat. He also sings these last two lines more passionately than from the previous verses.

As the chorus returns, so does all the musical attributes that were present. There isn't much variation on the notes of the chorus, but in my opinion it's not meant to be catchy. They are rather high notes; if this song was a drink it would be cold, but more like vodka than sprite. Quickly once again, black lines begin the fill the whiteness of the LCD screens while the stage lights start flashing again very rapidly. Soon, the background screens become completely black again.
At this point Stoic is just dramatically singing into the camera, almost bopping up and down, but also the camera angles alternate between closing up on him and panning across the stage. The latter camera especially provides quite a spectacle, with the dynamics of this lighting that our mastermind has persuaded the Tödlichebujoki technicians to do.

The heaven in mind, it says to us:
That said, it does mean we don't really get to see what's going on up close, with the stage being more dark than light at this current moment. But fear not! Soon a camera much closer to the stage pans around, and we can see once again that white lines "drip" down on the black-filled LCD screens, and the performers are all walking. Stoic is walking to his left as we can see, but the backing performers are all walking in different directions. They do so to the rhythm of the song, but in the last line of the next part, Stoic walks at double the pace (technically still in tune with the rhythm), presumably to catch up to where he's supposed to stand.
“Overcome the sorrow”

I wanna go to heaven, Jack
Stoic sang the last word of the last line above almost bleating like a sheep. Who is Jack anyway? In interviews, Stoic has only said that "Jack" refers to the second person, the individual whom the singer speaks to. He has declined to elaborate. But this is the part of the performance where it gets interesting. Here comes the bridge; it is musically a repetition of the two lines at the end of the verse, and arguably also the most melodically catchy part of the song, with the notes moving upwards twice before coming back down. The musical line, as you can see with the lyrics, is repeated up to four times, and those clicking-like noises you may have felt earlier in the song have definitely come back.
Stoic jerks forward as the backing performers fill in the vocals of these next parts for him. While it seems like Stoic will need a second to compose himself, the backing performers are... doing some interesting choreography. The guys are each interacting with one girl. The third girl is between the two pairs, laying on her back with both feet kicking and thrusting into the air. The camera angle switches between a front angle showing the stage, and a close up of Stoic. When it's the latter, Stoic looks menacingly into the camera.
(I wanna walk the walk, talk the talk)
(I wanna walk the talk tonight)
Stoic now raises his right hand and brings it to his face as if to cover his mouth, but looks leftwards at the same time. When his hand reaches his face, it's as if he uses it to pull it back so that he looks forward. If you look attentively, you may notice how big his hands are, but most people aren't paying
that much attention, let's be real. Stoic repeats this a few times, and at the end of this next part brings the mic to his face just so the entire multiverse can hear him exhale.
(I wanna walk the walk, talk the talk)
(I wanna walk the talk tonight)
Now he is raising and lowering his shoulders to the beat while the backing performers continue to do their choreography.
(I wanna walk the walk, talk the talk)
(I wanna walk the talk tonight)
Finally, as this bridge comes to an end, Stoic quickly raises his mic back to his face as he contributes vocally and sings this last part of the bridge along with his backing performers.
I wanna walk the walk, talk the talk
I wanna walk the talk tonight
By now, the backing singers are in a single line, with Stoic standing slightly in front, out of line. The chorus has returned for one last time, and you can tell that the performers are singing more passionately than ever, even if it feels like the musical equivalent of gasping for air. Black lines begin to fill the all-white background once again, and our 6 performers, all facing a 9 o'clock angle, are beginning to spin clockwise. The 5 backing performers are all pointing upwards at roughly a 45° angle, as if to look at something. Stoic spins clockwise along with them too, all of them rotating to the beat. Also, the lights are now flashing very rapidly once again, giving us a WorldVision performance that has never been seen in a lifetime.
After completing one rotation, the backing singers continue rotating but are now facing downwards and moving more organically. Stoic meanwhile, stopped once he was able to face the audience.

The heaven in mind, it says to us:
As the song begins to come to an end, the now all-black LCD screens are being rained upon by white lines once again — you know the drill. The five backing performers are now facing a 9 o'clock angle while Stoic faces a 3 o'clock angle — the reverse. Now each of them slowly walk backwards to the beat. But the backing dancers aren't walking behind straight — they walk slightly to their right as well (towards the back of the stage), some more than others. At some point, they begin to kneel — at this point it's clear that they have now become aligned diagonally. Stoic keeps walking backwards. During the last line of this last part, Stoic begins walking at a normal pace as he faces the audience. The backing singers, meanwhile, lay on their backs.

As the song ends, the camera switches to a top-down view and you can see that the performers and Stoic are all aligned diagonally. This is the final shot, and soon as the audience cheers, the camera shows Stoic who politely says "Thank you". Soon after the stage is prepared for the entry from Saperetia.
