This image depicts an outdoor cultural performance in José Luis Bustamante y Rivero, Peru. A male dancer is centrally positioned, captured mid-action with arms raised and knees bent, wearing an elaborate red and black traditional costume adorned with gold accents, white ruffled trim, and a multi-colored headpiece featuring ribbons. He holds two distinct metallic scissor-like objects in his hands. His footwear consists of black shoes with white soles and orange bow embellishments. To his left, a second dancer, dressed in a similar red and white costume with colorful trim, is partially visible. In the immediate foreground, the back of a head wearing a grey baseball cap is present. Behind the dancers, an audience of approximately 12-15 individuals is seated in a row on chairs or benches. These spectators are predominantly adults, dressed in casual attire, with many wearing hats of various styles. Several audience members are actively engaged with mobile phones; one individual in a grey shirt holds a phone up, another person wearing a red and black jacket and a blue face mask holds a phone in front of their face, and a third is also holding a phone. The performance occurs on a light grey paved surface exhibiting faint markings and scattered light-colored debris. The background consists of a temporary structure with a blue tarp serving as a backdrop, overlaid by a darker tarp, and further behind, an indistinct white tent frame is visible.
