A man is found dead in an elevator. The cause of death remains a mystery. Suicide is likely, but there are no letters left to his family. Besides, there are some clues that he might have been moved to this place after his death. One peculiar thing is that the autopsy shows an image lasting for about 15 seconds that was stored in the brain of the deceased man. The image of a blue sky and a single tree with no shadow overhead is presented.

The piece is a work in progress by Moya Michael who was invited to work with the dancers Diya Naidu and Hema Bharathy for the month of July in 2008. The imagery and movement phrases are largely about the interaction of two physical bodies that at various points of the performance actually seem like one, this physicality borrows from the Indian mythological and religious characters of goddesses like Saraswati and her avatars as well as animalistic movements.
