Four people are huddled together on a small boat in a dark theatrical setting. One person stands, wearing a brown jacket, while the others are seated and appear to be observing something ahead with focused expressions.
A person with a beard and beanie sits on a part of a ship, surrounded by ropes, under dramatic lighting on stage. They wear a brown jacket and blue pants, gazing into the distance. The setting suggests a nautical theme or theatrical performance.
A group of performers energetically dance on a stage set resembling a ship's deck. They are dressed in period costumes and appear animated and joyful, with arms raised in various poses against a backdrop of ship rigging.
