The audience enters through a false portal marked 3477; the perimeter of the tomb, the passageway, the magazine, the annex,the main hall, the burial pit, and the upper and lower jaws are drawn on the floor with chalk. The audience, led by the reader, moves as indicated on the diagram; they are finally seated in the jaw marked u on the left side corresponding to the teeth still intact. The reader takes his place in the center of that jaw and begins the report; the last person, who stops in the main hall as the group enters, begins transferring the repast from the main hall to the jaw marked 1. The plates are placed on the left side of the circle, one at a time; when the transfer is complete, he stands in the center of that jaw until the reader finishes. After the performance all floor designations are ignored. in the original performance, the replica repast was unfired stoneware clay, the floor was cement and the room was quite dark.
