Mosesian Center for the Arts, Watertown, MA
Dec 15 - Dec 17, 2023
An English play (translation) on the carnage and destruction of the Mahabharata war on its final day.
A RERUN with a strong double cast will bring these powerful dynastic characters to life, along with dancers, narrators and choristes. An all-male cast, Purush, portrays 15 Pandava and Kaurava males and their allies with Gandhari being played by the only female actress. This, however, is "flipped" in the second all-female cast (Naaree) in which the sole female character is portrayed by a male actor.
