A stage performance unfolds before a darkened audience. Two performers in yellow overalls and white shirts hold up a wide, green cloth resembling a hammock, in which another performer, wearing a green costume with matching headgear, reclines. The two holding the cloth gradually lower it, and the performer in green sits up. In the foreground and to the sides, smaller performers, also in green costumes, watch the main action. The backdrop consists of dark, textured curtains, illuminated by bright spotlights from above.
