A shadow puppet performance projected onto a white cloth screen in a dark room. On the left stands a tall figure with a yellow-tinted body, dark hair, and a reddish-orange lower garment. On the right, a smaller figure with a red face, bared teeth and a striped wrap leans toward it, appearing to speak or confront. The puppets are flat cut-out figures lit from behind, with the shadows cast onto the fabric. No readable names or other text appear on the screen itself.
