Mahabharata
Angebote / Angebote:
A contemporary dramatic take on a 4, 000-year-old Sanskrit epic that is foundational to Indian culture. The Mahabharata is a pivotal text in Indian culture, and there is no shortage of English translations. But dramatic renderings have been few and incomplete. Toronto’s Why Not Theatre is remedying this with a once-in-a-generation contemporary translation and dramatization, seven hours long, with a traditional Indian meal (Khana) in the middle, the premiere performance features an all–South Asian cast.With warring clans and devious revenge, the Mahabharata tells the story of an ancient family feud with philosophical and spiritual themes that are no less urgent today: In times of division, how do we find wholeness? Are we destined to repeat the mistakes of our ancestors? Can we build a new world?Contains the full text of the play alongside interviews with the creators, historical context for the epic, a glossary, and a genealogy.
