A performer stands on a dark stage between two large black panels, lit by red and white spotlights from a truss overhead. He holds a silver trident upright in his right hand and rests his left hand on his hip. He wears a reddish-brown loincloth and a sleeveless reddish-brown garment, with bare shoulders and arms. Haze hangs in the air, and the stage floor reflects the warm red light.
