Eve Song, a song cycle by American composer Jake Heggie with texts by Philip Littell, is a contemporary retelling of the creation story from Eve’s perspective. Heggie’s music blends classical, jazz, and musical theater idioms together to create a unique contemporary soundscape that highlights Eve’s emotionally charged journey. Her story is alive and well, in every being who seeks knowledge over comfort, justice over blind ignorance, and in every human being who has been shunned for seeking truth over blind ignorance. Despite continued attempts to shame her into silence, Eve’s legacy lives on, continually creating, evolving, and growing.

Bharatanatyam is an Indian classical dance from the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is an art form which heavily utilizes various Indian languages such as Tamil from Tamil Nadu, Kannada from Karnataka, Telugu from Andhra Pradesh, and Hindi from Northern India as well as their respective musical compositions and texts. As a first generation Malayali - American born to parents who emigrated from Kerala to New York, I’ve often felt a lack of representation for the Malayalam language within the Bharatanatyam repertoire. Through this work I hope to explore the beauty of Malayalam musical compositions, poetry, culture and rhythms through the traditional Indian dance form of Bharatanatyam.
