A stage performance of a human pyramid by a group of young men in white dhoti-style loincloths on an orange-red stage floor. Several performers form a tiered, acrobatic formation with arms and legs extended; a central figure kneels in front while a bare-chested performer with a golden-brown headpiece stands at the centre. Red and yellow draped fabric panels, stage lighting rigs, a large screen showing similar performers, blue padded mats and black speakers surround the stage. Spectators sit at the sides wearing headpieces. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible in the frame.
