Audience members are on their feet before "curtain time" as the auditorium resonates with primitive ryhthms and "reality" is already shifting.
The Tribe has been all over the auditorium, bursting into an improvisational hand drum concert before finally settling into the aisles.
But they continue to be rowdy, now heckling the silhoueted figure of a lecturer who stands in front of a large screen on which projected images of the era illustrate his speech.
He doesn't get very far with his speech. The Tribe has moved up toward him in slow motion, humming eerily. He seems to be aware of an invisible force approaching him.
"The Lecturer" is touched by The Tribe and time explodes in a shower of fireworks.
Under the weary gaze of President Lyndon Johnson, "The Lecturer" is transformed into his former youthful self---George Berger, the leader of The Tribe.
AQUARIUS
Dionne joyfully begins the ritual.
