A Song for Eresha

A Requiem for Celestials

Eresha, an acclaimed classical dancer, has spent decades building Aalayam, an arts institution shaped by her discipline and authority. The arrival of Anvesha, a young exchange student, unsettles the carefully ordered world she has created. As Eresha finds herself drawn into an unrequited love she cannot contain, the boundaries between teacher and student, art and desire, authority and vulnerability begin to shift. Set against the world of Indian classical dance, A Song for Eresha features an almost all-woman cast and more than a hundred classical dancers from across India.
