A stage performance in a hall decorated with balloons, streamers and a draped maroon-and-white canopy. A female dancer in a teal and gold silk costume with floral hair ornaments stands on a green stage floor with hands folded in a dance pose. Behind her, a seated figure sits on an ornate gold and red throne with a golden arch, flanked by gold pillars and balloon decorations. An audience sits in rows in the foreground, many with their backs to the camera. A projection screen on the right shows a green image. The scene is a dance performance before a seated figure on a throne.
