A colourful cast of drag, burlesque and circus performers dressed as parody versions of characters from a fairytale swamp adventure pose together on a cobblestone path. At the centre is a large green ogre laughing with arms outstretched, surrounded by performers styled as a princess, a queen, a fairy godmother, a prince, a cat in boots and a donkey character kneeling playfully at the front. The background shows bright green hills and a sign reading “Far Far Away”.
