Led by Bharatanatyam exponent Guru Jayalakshmi Eshwar from Kalakshetra, the dance choreography assimilates the new media and unusual context of this piece to present a neo-classical production that looks ahead at the future of classical arts in India. 

The production brings together pioneering studios from dance, art, music and architecture. This is a hybrid performance at the intersection of classical dance, costume design, cinematic experience, architecture and electronic music. All the participating artists are pioneers in their creative practices in India, and are united in their exploration of new frontiers of collaborative performance.
