Astitva (meaning existence) is a powerful and evocative dance production, offering a rare and moving portrayal of British-Indian gay men.
This ground-breaking work explores the complex realities of balancing tradition, culture, and identity. The evening brings queer South Asian stories to the forefront, inviting audiences to connect, reflect, and celebrate the beauty of being human.
By blending Kathak and contemporary dance, the company creates dynamic, relevant work that explores intercultural narratives and celebrates the richness and intricacy of intersectional identities.
