Play: Chaaya/ Porcelain February 8, 2009

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.

Porcelain – the most refined of all ceramic wares – impervious, translucent, and resonant. Porcelain that is brittle and fragile, harder than steel, white as snow, porcelain that resists higher temperatures than stone. And porcelain that break. 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.
