A dark black and white image of a group of individuals performing on a wooden stage at night. The image was taken from a corner of the square stage making it appear as diamond shaped. Ferns have been placed in front of the stage along the sides for decoration. On the stage there are approximately fifteen men and women standing. The women are wearing a variety of kīhei some of which have a geometric print. Three men towards the center of the image on the stage are wearing ʻpaʻuʻ. Two of the men are also holding kāhili. Other men further back on the stage are also wearing capes and mahiole. Towards the far left of the image lit bamboo torches can be seen amongst the crowd watching the performers.
