A shirtless male dancer crouches low, arms stretched behind, like wings, looking intensely at us. He wears a feathery white costume resembling a swan, with a dramatic mohawk on his head. Behind him, a group of male dancers in similar outfits stand under a dramatic full moon, with mist and feathers floating down.
