A dark stage with a large lit cloth screen showing a shadow-puppet style performance. Two flat painted figures stand on a pale backdrop: a taller slender figure on the left in an orange lower garment with dark hair, facing a shorter red-faced figure on the right wearing a striped top, whose arm reaches toward the first. The figures are backlit silhouettes cast by light, so no physical people are visible on stage. A small logo appears in the upper left corner.

A rectangular white screen in a darkened hall shows two shadow-puppet figures in profile. The figure on the left is tan-coloured with dark hair and bare upper body, standing still. The figure on the right is red-faced with dark hair and a striped top, reaching its arm forward toward the other. The puppets are lit from behind, and the screen is framed by black drapes.
