‘Wedding Album’ dives deep into familial dynamics

Katha Ghera’s newest production looks beyond the glitz and glamour of wedding preparations.

Ah, weddings. There is something festive yet melancholic about them. On the one hand, it celebrates union, but on the other, it also marks loss—of individuality and, in the case of many women, freedom. If one looks beyond the ornate sarees, the festivities, the music and the rituals, weddings often become a setting for unravelling biases, secrets and preconceived notions within the familial sphere.
