In husk and angel dust, burlesque dancer Ruby performs a private show in a velvet-draped room. Feather boa trailing, she teases with each removed glove and stocking. husk and angel dust captures the moment the audience of one can no longer watch passively—he joins her on stage, hands replacing pasties. Mirrors reflect infinite Rubys writhing in husk and angel dust, her back arched over the chaise lounge. The performance ends not with a bow but with shared breathless applause in husk and angel dust.
