The British director revisits the great ancient Indian epic "Mahabharata" 30 years after his legendary performance, which triumphed internationally and marked the history of modern theatre.
Bright, simple and at the same time magical, the new production by the living legend of theatre narrates a powerful story that speaks about the search for reason in a fragmented world.
“Battlefield” draws its inspiration from a part of the "Mahabharata", in which the Bharata family is torn apart by war and faces the horrors it has experienced.
Peter Brook reworked the text anew with his long-time collaborators Jean-Claude Carrière and Marie-Hélène Estienne.
A parable of the times we live in, “Battlefield” is timeless and contemporary and raises the question how we can find inner peace in a world torn apart by conflicts, deaths, and destruction.
