Inspired by an Indonesian ritual dance, an ominous company of dancers dressed in black and silver performs a choreography that creates an indelible image of one woman with a thousand arms. The Peacock Goddess reappears in an ominous guise and steals Miranda away while a forest of sticks inspired by Vietnamese circus tradition springs up to create a portal to the Underworld through which Romeo must pass. Romeo tries to reunite with Miranda by climbing up a pole in an exhibition of sheer muscular strength and inventive, supple routine.

While Prospera retires following the intense balancing act, Miranda stays with Romeo; however, the island works hard to keep the two apart by forming a highly impenetrable wall of moving bodies. Inspired by an Indonesian ritual dance, an ominous company of dancers dressed in black and silver performs a choreography that creates an indelible image of one woman with a thousand arms. Through much perseverance, the two unite. But their moment is short-lived as The Peacock Goddess reappears in an ominous guise and steals Miranda away, sending her into the skies while a forest of sticks inspired by Vietnamese circus tradition springs up to create a portal to the Underworld through which Romeo must pass.

Undaunted, but tiring of the chase, Romeo climbs upward (using a single Chinese Pole) in a continuing search for his love. Édouard Doye's single pole act is half dance, half traditional Chinese Pole; he cavorts around the pole seductively, using his strength and agility to climb after his beloved. After a number of setbacks (precariously falling to the stage before stopping himself mere centimeters from the stage floor), he escapes.
