The lowered machete beside the flag
On the court at night, a dancer in black pigment holds the machete down. The headdress has a painted face and red feathers. A man in a white shirt carries the green, white, and red flag, with the emblem.
The skirt is green and black, with fringe, and a long piece hangs at one side. The chest piece is green. Black pigment covers him. The other hand holds a few pale pieces. The sandals are brown. Others follow with headdresses, cylinders, and striped sticks. The floor is green, with white lines, and it is wet. People stand on the balcony above. The sky is dark.
