A photograph of a stage performance with a single barefoot performer in a rust-red draped costume with silver embellished bodice and belt, long dark hair falling down the back, and a forehead marking. He walks across a stage lined with rows of brass oil lamps in the foreground. Behind him a large backdrop projects a grid of glowing amber and orange lights, and a magenta velvet curtain hangs on the right. The appearance-based cues of long hair and ornate costume are present, but the performer's identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
