A shadow puppet or silhouette performance projected on a pale cloth screen in a dark hall. A tall figure with long hair in a reddish-orange robe extends one hand toward a smaller figure with short hair and a lighter tunic, who holds out a hand in return. A dark doorway stands at the left edge of the screen. The scene is dimly lit with no visible audience, and the performance appears to be a dramatic reenactment shown on the screen.
