In corpore sano
2022 song by Konstrakta
"In corpore sano" (Ecclesiastical Latin: [iŋ ˈkorpore ˈsano], Classical Latin: [ɪŋ ˈkɔrpɔrɛ ˈsaːnoː]; transl. "In a Healthy Body") is a single by Serbian singer-songwriter Konstrakta. It was released on 11 February 2022 through PGP-RTS as part of her three-song project Triptih. It was written by the artist alongside Milovan Bošković. The song represented Serbia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Turin, Italy, after winning Pesma za Evroviziju '22, Serbia's national final. In the final of the contest, it placed fifth and broke Serbia's record for the most points received.
Entering Pesma za Evroviziju '22 as an underdog to promote Triptih, Konstrakta gained mass popularity after her performance in the first semi-final. Her avant-garde song and performance have been variably characterized as satire, irony, or critique of the Serbian healthcare system, mass media, the COVID-19 pandemic, and beauty standards, and how all of these factors distract from the importance of mental health. The performance itself has also been compared to the works of Serbian performance artist Marina Abramović.
Background
Konstrakta applied for Pesma za Evroviziju '22 with the goal of promoting her three-song project Triptih (Triptych) of which "In corpore sano" is a part, alongside "Nobl" (Noble) and "Mekano" (Soft). As she revealed, "In corpore sano" fit the Pesma za Evroviziju ’22 requirements, being three minutes long, which was the reason why this exact song was chosen to be applied with.

Why this record matters
“In corpore sano” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, corpore, sano and song provides the most credible route into that argument.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q111110067. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2022.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
