Screening: Mahabharata + Q&A

Description

Newly restored in 8K, Peter Brook’s The Mahabharata is a landmark stage-to-screen adaptation of one of the world’s great epics.  

Centred on the rivalry between the Pandavas and Kauravas, two branches of a royal family whose struggle for power leads to devastating war, the film explores duty, morality, love, kinship and fate. With an international cast and Brook’s distinctive, elemental visual style, this extraordinary work transforms an ancient tale into a powerful meditation on human conflict, responsibility and the fragile balance of the world.  

A rare opportunity to experience a monumental cinematic event on the big screen. 

Runtime: 171 minutes
