A backlit shadow-puppet performance on a large white cloth screen in a dark room. Four painted leather-style puppets stand in a row, each held up on a rod: a plain-faced figure in a grey-lavender shirt on the left, a red-skinned female puppet with a bun and a teal and red patterned blouse, a pink puppet in a yellow and green outfit raising a hand, and a red-faced puppet in a yellow top. The rods are visible against the light. No physical people are visible, only the puppets and their shadows on the screen.
