An intimate show of lullabies from across India. Currently performing online 

Inviting you to put to bed the worries off the top of your head for now- your expectations, disappointments, and even your resolutions and high points.

We, Deepthi and Akash shall take you through an hour of calm, singing lullabies in different languages; mostly from our subcontinent.  

What are the concerns that you want to say good night to, at present? - So that you can sleep over them and wake up to newer (and hopefully “better”) ways of perceiving them?

What are the things, parallel-y, that you may want to say good night to, forever?

What do you associate lullabies with? Swings, being held and cradled, comforted and loved, peace? We hope that you can revisit some of these memories of solace on this restful evening.

Deepthi Bhaskar is a trained classical singer who has a soft corner and talent for the culinary arts. The music classes she conducts springs from her conviction that everyone can and should sing. She channels her restlessness by developing and curating music for national and international theatrical productions, and by wandering to places that feed her soul.

Akash Narendran’s singing is informed by carnatic, bhajan and choral training. He is passionate about intersectional social justice, the performing arts and community stories. When not considering disturbing the status quo, he loves putting people at ease.
