About this Event
Southern California-based Story Loom Productions will bring Aaranyaka, a production showcasing Indian theatrical art through dance, music, storytelling and Kerala’s martial art, Kalaripayattu.
Directed by Sachitha Chandrasenan, Aarayaka is set deep within a mystical forest inhabited by a tribal community, Aaranyaka is a journey of inner awakening, inspired by the philosophy of “Tat Tvam Asi”—“You are That.” The production explores the profound connection between the human spirit, nature and the world around us. Through powerful dance, music, storytelling, Kalaripayattu and immersive stage visuals, it brings to life a world of ancient traditions, spirituality and the timeless relationship between humanity and nature.
Designed to transcend language barriers, the production relies heavily on visual storytelling, allowing audiences from diverse backgrounds to follow and experience the story.
Story Loom Productions was found by three women - Bindu Suresh, Sachitha Chandrasenan and Preethi Pavithran - with a shared vision of creating opportunities for storytelling and artistic collaboration. Based in Southern California, the company brings stories to life through visual creativity, performing arts and community-driven artistic initiatives.
