Performers in black athletic clothing and red sashes give an aerial acrobatics display on a stage in front of deep red curtains. A woman hangs upside down from an aerial silk, legs extended, while another performer bends backward in a deep arch with one arm raised. Several women stand nearby, some holding the silk, and a man crouches among them. A silver ornate throne with a leopard-print cushion stands at left, beside a brass trident and a brass lion figure on the floor. A blue mat lies below the aerial performers.
