‘Daklakatha Devikavya’ is an experimental play drawing on the epic poetry and stories of the important Kannada writer and founder-member of the Dalit Sangharsha Samiti, K.B. Siddaiah. The piece begins with a re-reading of a cosmogonic myth and evolves through weaving Dalit rituals, beliefs, hunger and desire through song and storytelling. The play provokes us to think how received insights through the experience of untouchability force us to confront what it means to be human in the depths of our being.
