The stage is set for a performance, possibly a play or opera. The stage is divided into two levels. The upper level is an elevated platform, with a table and chairs set up for two people, both dressed in dark suits. A sketch of what appears to be a grand building is projected on the backdrop. The lower level features five individuals. Three of them wear long, light-colored coats and hold small, dimly lit lanterns. The other two are dressed in dark colors. The lighting is dim and focused on the center of the stage.
