JLF Toronto 2020 | Mahabharata: Adapting Ancient Myth for Modern Theatre

A conversation with famed mythologist, author, and illustrator Devdutt Pattanaik and theatre artists and writers Ravi Jain and Miriam Fernandes for a deep-dive into the world of the Mahabharata through the lens of Jain and Fernandes’s stage adaptation of the ancient text. The conversation will weave the relevance and importance of these myths in our modern world and how epic stories can help us unravel the chaos around us. Why Not Theatre’s new theatrical adaptation of the Mahabharata, commissioned by the Shaw Festival, takes a modern twist on the ancient Indian epic; the session will also provide a sneak-peek into the process of creating the show as well as its ‘Bhagavad Gita’ mini-opera, developed with the support of a Creative Residency at the Canadian Opera Company. #JLFToronto2020
