Asthitva, a satirical work in Bharatanatyam genre on identity, gender, and dharma, tells the story of a king who, in a miraculous twist of fate, is chosen to bear a child. What follows is a deeply layered journey of self-inquiry, transformation, and transcendence.
Rooted in classical Indian storytelling and featuring all four aspects of Abhinaya, including Vācika (spoken word), this new work blends tradition and innovation in a performance that is both magical and thought-provoking.
Featuring acclaimed artists Parshwanath Upadhye and Aditya PV, traveling from India for this U.S. premiere.
