A standing man in an orange sleeveless robe with long dark swept-back hair tilts his head upward at the front of a hall, arms at his sides. Seated before him in rows are participants in white clothing with white blindfolds or headbands across their eyes, some wearing yellow or red lanyards. Behind them stand pale pink walls, a white double door and a white curtain by a window. The candidate appearance cues are present but the identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.
