A young boy does a series of backflips and spins on his head. It looks like a rather unexceptional exhibition of break dancing. However it is from 1898, not 1998. Clearly this sort of busking predated its craze -- a better word might be "revival" almost a hundred years later. There's nothing new under the sun, and so forth, even if you're reading this on your tablet computer.
The performance is shot against a pale background which shows minimal detailing -- a wall of a building composed of long planks. The boy wears dark colors, the better to clearly differentiate him and his motion. His face is obscured so the audience can concentrate on what he does rather than who he is or why.
