Serendipity Arts Festival is back for its 10th edition in Panjim! In a rapidly changing India, young Bejul and those around him navigate their dreams, desires, and dilemmas while also negotiating the complex terrains of caste and class. Kavan is an operatic satire, written and performed entirely in poetry and song, capturing the young Ambedkarite experience. It attempts to encapsulate the India we see around us today: a nation of mounting ambition, full of contradictions.This Ambedkarite Opera, is an invitation to examine ourselves as citizens, observers andparticipants who are operating on a background of a large hegemonic order, in the world'slargest democracy, through the artistic practices of music, humour, satire and collective storytelling.
