The visually stunning Bharatanatyam production reimagines the ancient epic through a fresh, thought-provoking lens.
Maya or illusion – the ever-shifting veil between truth and perception – becomes the lens through which the Punyah Dance Company reimagines the epic Mahabharata.
This retelling draws us into a world where dharma is ambiguous, choices are shadowed by fate, and every truth has a hidden mirror.
The stunning performance is layered with movement, expression, and musicality – exploring the inner landscapes of iconic characters revealing the personal dilemmas behind public destinies. Who defines righteousness? What is real and what is illusion? It invites the audience to see the Mahabharata not as a story of the past, but as a living, breathing reflection of human complexities, where we must look beyond the surface to question what we think we know.
A fresh, thought-provoking take on an ancient tale, this production is both timeless and relevant.
This performance is supported by Reliance Foundation.
