The Mahabharata

The Mahabharata unfolds in an ancient time in India, then known as Bharatavarsha. Two groups of cousins from the same royal family, the Pandavas and the Kauravas, vie for control of the Kingdom. The cousins' rivalry leads to death and destruction and jeopardises the very fabric of the universe. Directed by Peter Brook, this monumental work explores the entanglements between war, ethics and power. The Mahabharata is an epic that transcends time and space, exposing the dilemmas and devastating consequences resulting from man's choices.
