Over 220 elongated figures are arranged in rows around the red walls of the main hall and staircase. One is in the ground floor corridor against a yellow wall (the violinist). The figures are supported on shelf bases and are lit from above. Most are individual figures relating to past Edinburgh Festival performers, but some are two figures or groups. Applauding audience figures form the top row.
