Imago Theatre Company presents Agyaat Goonj, a powerful and original play written and directed by Kaleem Zaffar. The story follows a group of college students from a background not typically associated with student activism. However, a tragic student suicide ignites a fire within them, prompting an unexpected stand against the college administration. Leveraging social media to amplify their voices and following anonymous tips online the students set out on a quest.
As their agitation and peaceful protest escalate, they stumble upon disturbing secrets that expose the dark underbelly of the institution. Agyaat Goonj delves into critical, often uncomfortable, aspects of Indian society, including reservation, casteism, and complex power dynamics. Yet, the play is delivered with a refreshing light-hearted and commercial approach, featuring vibrant original songs composed specifically for the production. Join us to discover if these students can truly find their voice and if their pursuit of justice will ultimately lead to success.
