Inspired by the spirit of Jamaican reggae legend Bob Marley, the play explores the complex realities of Dalit youth navigating urban India’s seemingly liberal yet deeply exclusionary spaces. Through a mix of Brechtian theatre and Kannada musical interludes, the play examines the burden and politics of identity in a caste-ridden society.

The narrative follows three young migrants grappling with invisible violence, false promises of urban secularism, and the haunting weight of history. Drawing from Ambedkar’s Waiting for Visa, Rohith Vemula’s final letter, and poetry by N.K. Hanumanthaiah, the performance becomes a visceral inquiry into what "freedom of existence" truly means for marginalized voices. Directed by K.P. Lakshman, the play boldly breaks theatrical norms with its avant-garde form, using minimal props, live music, and social Gestus to engage.
