Fred Peck-Ouissey and his minions Omar Pantages and Kiki Vassilinou take Rubi on a forced march through the Anatolian desert. Slipping him a mickey, they unwrap "the Package" and then perform a kind of traditional sabre dance. This piece contains nothing overtly indecent, no profanity or descriptions of sexual acts. However it is vaguely salacious and may not be suitable for kids.
