Hello friends,

Hope you are doing well. 

Over the last few years maraa has been building a body of work exploring ideas of self expression through humour. Working with new comics from diverse backgrounds in Maharashtra and Karnataka we have learned the potential of the form. Humour allows for one to break away from the position of a stereotypical victimhood, or the usual tonalities that accompany marginalisation.  One is able to play with one’s own narratives, one’s position within it, to express vulnerability and challenge oppression. We believe that freedom of expression is not just about having the space to tell one's own narrative but taking control over the narrative itself and the means by which one can share it. Hence we are very happy to be hosting our friends from Maharashtra this weekend. 

Maraa presents

BLUE MATERIAL - An All Dalit Lineup Stand Up Comedy Show | August 25th to 27th

Blue comedy is a style of comedy that is off-color, risqué, indecent or profane, largely about sex. It often contains profanity and/or sexual imagery that may shock and offend some audience members. The colour blue is also associated with the anti-caste movement signifying the colour of the sky, a representation of non-discrimination, that under the sky, everyone is believed to be equal. Which brings us to Blue Material, a Stand-Up Comedy show with an all Dalit lineup. This often takes place as a 90 minute show, including 3 to 4 comedians. Our show is grounded within the personal as political; we use humour to highlight the realities of caste and intersecting forms of oppression.
