A photograph of a backlit translucent screen in a dark hall showing a shadow-play silhouette of a figure with an arm extended, pulling a red horse-shaped puppet on strings across the lower edge. The screen is the only lit area; the surrounding room is black. No physical people are visible beyond the shadow figure on the screen, so this is a depiction of a performance rather than people present in the room.
