A person with dark curly hair dressed in black is stiffly suspended in the air, harnessed by and holding thick rope. Below are three undulating swaths of paper suspended horizontally.
Five performers onstage all dressed in black, singing emphatically with arms outstretched. The person on the very left plays an acoustic guitar. In the background is a blurry scene of people against a hilly landscape.

17 original works from 15 countries come together to compose A Manifesto for Live Art.
