Dim blue-violet stage lighting with haze fills a stage set in front of a painted forest backdrop. In the centre stands a figure with very long, dark, loose hair falling down the back, holding a silver trident. Behind is a painted deity figure with a crown and necklace, and seated figures in ochre clothing sit in the painted scene to the left. Green foliage and a flowering plant frame the right edge of the stage.
