Image description: Four dancers are making the shape of steps with their bodies. One lying flat on the floor, one raised slightly higher and two on hands and knees to form the different levels. They are wearing white trainers and suits. There is one performer on top of them as if he is moving down the steps. The image is very dark with a blue light on the performers.

One helluva weekend
