In the center of the image, a dancer is seen performing a jump. His right leg is slightly in the air, with his left leg he steps forward. His torso is slightly leaned back. In the background, there seems to be a light source that casts a spotlight on the floor of the otherwise dark room. The silhouette of a gun is visible in the left foreground. Graphically, it looks like the gun is aimed at the young man.
