None.

Animation, or pre-show, can take the form of characters milling through the crowd crying over their dead friend (a la Corteo), a delivery man in search of his charge (as in Koozå), mysterious characters guarding their mystifying void (as in KÀ), bugs from the microcosm swarming the big top (OVO), or clowns pointing unwitting attendees to their seats (as in Mystère, La Nouba, and a variety of other shows). For AMALUNA, while the percussionist and guitarist strum and pound a tribal beat, a number of plumed peacocks, leathered-hide lizards and various warriors of the island make their appearance and slink, strut and sashay about: There is Deeda, a clown dressed in yellow (she's Miranda's Nurse, played by Pepa Plana from Spain), who runs about wondering why people aren't taking their seats. Another, lizard-bound Cali, meanders his way through the crowd, flicking his tail here and there before climbing a mast and proceeding to dump popcorn on select guests beneath him. Other androgynous Peacock characters strut about tickling unsuspecting guests with their feathers in hand.

Suddenly Deeda walks on stage; all eyes are drawn to her as she welcomes us to the show - "Ladies à ladies, mesdames et mesdames, senoritas y senoras" - then takes us through the rules of the house: should there be a "petit problème"? "NO PANIC!" Should there be a bigger problem... well, whatever! Also "no foto, no texto, no facebook, no youtube, no, no, no, no, no!" (You know the drill). When a cell phone rings out in the audience, Deeda frowns and taps her foot, then goes to fetch it. After Deeda answers the call and speaks to the caller, she places the confiscated phone in a plastic bag then stuffs the entire kit-and-caboodle in a pouch along her waist. We've been warned!
