The camera pans across the rotting velvet of an abandoned vaudeville theatre, dust motes dancing in the air thick with greasepaint and copper. A single spotlight snaps on, revealing him center stage in a mismatched tuxedo, one boot dangling.

'Welcome to the show,' the atmosphere seems to whisper, as he offers a mockery of a bow, waiting to see if you will scream or dance.
