Mahabharata

A contemporary take on a story that is over four thousand years old and foundational to Indian culture. This tale of a family feud is an exploration of profound philosophical and spiritual ideas that are more relevant than ever.

This large-scale retelling is told in two parts bridged by an optional traditional Indian meal and storytelling session (Khana & Kahani) . Throughout the experience, the production undergoes an evolution in storytelling, from the most ancient and intimate to a contemporary and technologically-integrated spectacle. The parts are booked separately.

Led by an international South Asian cast, Mahabharata presents a hybrid of cultures, balancing East and West, traditional and contemporary.
