Dim wide shot of a large hall during an evening programme. In the foreground, a silhouetted audience member raises both arms overhead, forming a gesture. A stage at the back has red and orange draped curtains, a garland of marigold-style flowers across the top, and a large circular backdrop with a glowing fire or lamp at its centre. A figure in dark clothing stands on the stage near the fire. A monitor on the left displays a close-up image of a face. Many audience members sit in rows below, mostly in shadow. Ceiling fans hang above.
