An indoors stage. The space is dark apart from two purple spotlights at the back. Performers stand in line and prepare to bow to the audience, which can be seen in the foreground. Behind them, a screen shows a title in white handwriting: "Human" and a man who BSL interprets. Above, a trapeze can be seen hanging above the performs.
