Khelure & Aleek Rasta
Khelure (Gamers) is a play conceived as a street theater (a form of theater done on streets as a form of mass education or protest) by thespian Deepak Deb. The play uses original songs written to reflect the political turmoil in India after CAA and NRC bills and is presented through an allegory of video gaming and in-build discrimination within the games.
