Porpoise Pool

By JoJo Zhou I Belvoir St Theatre 25a Program 2023

A scene from a theater performance with two women, one standing in a futuristic white costume and the other seated on a yellow sofa, in a dimly lit room with dark walls and a dark ceiling decorated with floating spheres. The standing woman raises her right hand, and the seated woman looks on. There are some objects on the floor, including a bottle and small items near the sofa.
