Extract
Scaffolds were placed in the center of the auditorium, and five raised platforms were set around the perimeter of the space: two had curtains hanging from makeshift wires across the back, another was a booth stage with a framework of poles on which fabrics were draped, one stage was used by the orchestra, and one was set up as-a boxing ring. The audience seated themselves on top of, under, and around the central construction. They were surrounded by the stages, contained by them. A mirrored ball hanging overhead rotated slowly, casting colored light over the entire space.
The orchestra played “Yesterday.” Five people in costumes emerged onto the largest of the playing areas and applauded the audience, who promptly responded with whoops and cheers.
