Mayu Tanigaito, performing as Cinderella, penchés gleefully in an one-sleeved yellow dress with blue and pink cheetah print tulle underneath, nude pointe shoes, and her long black hair down but pulled back partially. Her left arm extends behind her and reaches up on the diagonal of her working leg (left) line in penché, with her right bent at the elbow in front of her chest so she can hold her partner's hand. Laurynas Véjalis, as The Royal Messenger, holds her hand with his right, also bent at the elbow, with his right wrapped gently around her waist on the left side. He lunges casually, left leg turned in for support and right suggesting a tendu a la seconde, and he wears a modern white peasant blouse, brown dance boots, a gray tie, and brown suitpants with a brown waist jacket.. They look into each others' eyes happily, dancing a pas de deux onstage in front of a deep blue backdrop with light blue geographical sketches behind them.

In a bright red jumpsuit, unzipped on top to display his bare chest, Joseph Sissens is mid-air in a split sissone ouverte with his left leg in attitude derriere. He wears nude ballet flats that match his tan skin tone, arms extended in an exaggerated 1st arabesque, his left reaching up on the diagonal slightly and his right reaching directly upwards. His chest arches back slightly to extend the line, his head turned upward toward his right hand dramatically. Behind him, Benjamin Ella stands in black wide-legged, flowy pants with nude ballet shoes, his long dark hair slicked back, his body turned slightly toward the right as he gently transfers his weight off his left leg in a gentle walk forward. He looks toward Sissens intently, arms down by his side but energized.
