A photograph of a translucent white screen lit against a black background, showing painted cutout figures of people. On the left, a figure in a light lavender garment bends forward into a deep bow or prostration. Beside a standing pale figure, a woman in a blue sari with a yellow face and a hand raised toward a tall pale figure is shown. The figures are flat, stylised illustrations, not physical people on stage.
