A young performer in an orange long-sleeved top and orange trousers climbs a white rope suspended from above, body raised off the floor with bare feet and legs wrapped around the rope, arms overhead gripping it, a white headband on the forehead and long dark braids flying.

Below, a golden ornate throne and several decorative figures in purple and blue garments with a small golden deity figure stand on the stage.
