Jaivant Patel brings queer south Asian existence to the stage with 'ASTITVA'

Highlights:

  • Pushes back against old stereotypes, choosing to focus on joy and celebration instead of struggle.
  • It insists the community deserves stages for celebration, not just for sharing pain.
  • It walks through four raw, human chapters: Seeking, Desire, Acceptance, and Love.
  • Its core mission is putting brown, queer male bodies on stage in a way that is still rarely seen.

In an exclusive chat with Eastern Eye, choreographer Jaivant Patel spoke about ASTITVA, a new dance work that reimagines what it means to be queer and south Asian through movement, rhythm, and emotion.

ASTITVA translates to “existence,” an apt title for a piece born from the need to simply be seen and heard. It reflects Patel’s journey and the lived realities of queer south Asian people today.
