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.

Porcelain – the most refined of all ceramic wares – impervious, translucent, resonant. Porcelain that is brittle and fragile. Harder than steel, white as snow. Porcelain that resists higher temperatures than stone. And porcelain that breaks…
The notion that the stage is a place where the invisible can appear has a strong hold on our thoughts. It is a place where we allow our senses to mingle. We hear the scene, we see the speech.

Chaaya - Even if a child is not able to comprehend the gravity of an experience intellectually, the body remembers at the cellular level, visceral reactions leaving traces long after the event. The mind blocks out the violations but revisits these happenings through recurring nightmares. Smells, sounds, people, objects, touch and taste briefly awaken memories of dark and unpleasant encounters. Chaaya is an exploration of such unwanted encounters.
