A dark stage with a large lit white cloth screen showing a shadow play. On the left, a shadow of a temple shrine or doorway with a tall rectangular form appears. To the right, the silhouette of a standing figure with an outstretched arm reaches toward the shrine. The figure is a shadow on the screen, not a physical person in the room, so no one is physically present in the scene. The screen is framed by black drapes.
