A figure in a saffron-orange robe and matching orange turban stands at the right of the stage beside a white easel board and a potted plant, speaking into a microphone. A cream-coloured ornate throne-style armchair with a small flower vase sits at centre stage, with a video camera on a tripod in front of it. In the foreground, seated audience members in dark chairs face the stage, including a person in a yellow-and-white vest operating a camera, and others at laptops along a table draped with orange cloth.
