An outdoor nighttime scene unfolds in Barza Municipality, Syria, depicting a cultural performance on a paved street. In the foreground and midground, a group of at least five adult males, identified as performers, are dressed in traditional attire. Their ensemble consists primarily of cream-colored trousers tucked into knee-high brown leather boots, cream-colored long-sleeved shirts or tunics, and ornate brown leather belts featuring multiple pouches. Most performers wear white head coverings (similar to keffiyeh) secured with a white headband, while one on the far left wears a deep red head covering. This individual also dons a horizontally striped vest in red, brown, cream, and black over his shirt and is actively playing a pair of small, dark metallic hand cymbals (sagat or similar). To his right, another performer holds a large, textured, dark-colored, circular object resembling a hand drum or percussion instrument. Three other performers visible are holding thin, metallic sticks or swords vertically upwards with extended arms, suggesting a synchronized sword dance or display. Two of these performers have gold-colored embroidery detailing on their shirts. The background is populated by numerous spectators, many of whom are holding up smartphones, capturing the event. Visible elements include a young male on the right wearing a white T-shirt with "NO BOYFRIEND NO PROBLEM" printed on it. The environment features buildings lining the street, some with awnings (at least one green), suggesting commercial establishments or shops. Above the performers, a large tree with green foliage is prominent on the right, adorned with string lights. Other artificial lighting illuminates the scene from various sources, including storefronts and what appear to be streetlights. The ground is paved with interlocking pavers or cobblestones, with some minor debris visible. Speakers are positioned on the right side, indicating amplified sound for the performance.
