Hailed as “the theatrical event of the century” in 1985, The Mahabharata was a nine-hour epic based on the world’s longest poem. Its compilation of myths, legends and folklore told the history of ancestral India, thrilling audiences around the world for four years.
30 years on, Brook and his original collaborators return to The Mahabharata in this adaptation for contemporary audiences. With its multi-ethnic cast and based on the same rich language and astonishing stories, Battlefield gives theatrical expression to mankind’s greatest dramas and deepest struggles. It shows how today’s harsh conflicts reflect ancient history, and promises to be a landmark event for the HKAF, and for Hong Kong.
