EXIST is a musical that follows the lives of five young adults from different countries (China, Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Nigeria, and Iran) who are resisting deportation by residing in a church. Despite being in a situation designed to destroy them, they embark on a journey of self-reclamation as individuals and as a group. In the basement, they form a unique bond as they face the struggles of displacement. Together, they navigate a complex situation, finding strength and understanding in one another’s experiences.

As they  resist together, their lives intertwine and they adapt to a life where their dreams were left on hold.
