THE TIGER DANCING STILL

GONDI (20s) is watching an entertainment show in his village. RUMI (40s), a middle-aged man standing in the center, leads the show with captivating tiger spirit music. Suddenly, a young man writhes and dances like a tiger (possessed). The villagers are instantly delighted and entertained. After the show ends, the villagers disperse. Unaware, RUMI returns home with GONDI following him. The young man who danced like a tiger earlier arrives, and RUMI pays him. RUMI begins to practice again. They are preparing for the next performance.
