BOW A4: Some thoughts about text on a particular​ page

I am not sure what to do or where to put the text for the following pairing. I tried it with a half-page fold and put the text on the extra paper to the left but didn’t like it – it was twice as wide as the current fold in the last screenshot here. Here are some alternatives. Originally it was on the next page but that’s confusing and seems to apply to the text piece on the next spread. Something to think about but I’m sure I prefer it without any text …. If the half pages with shadow puppets are in front of this, another fold seems OTT and the text could be on those in some way with a bit of configuring, although that too might be confusing.

Added after Doug’s suggestion This would be affected by the choice of publication  – if a newspaper as I have done before, no problem – especially if this is the centre spread. But if a book that the middle disappears into, then this would not work.
