The performance titled 'because I love the diversity' made its U.S. debut at PICA and was conceptualized by Rakesh Sukesh, an Indian immigrant. The show navigates intersections of race, class, and gender, encapsulating Sukesh's personal story as a tapestry maker's son and his journey through Bollywood to contemporary dance. With a blend of humor and nuanced expression, he connects his experiences to broader themes of micro-aggressions and identity in a delightful choreography.
"The performance was based on Sukesh's experience as an Indian immigrant living in Europe, exploring themes of race, class, and gender with nuance and humor."
"Throughout the performance, Sukesh addressed the audience with rhythmic dancing and humor, incorporating elements of his cultural background and personal story."
