Adapted from the great Indian Epic, The Mahabharata from Peter Brook is a true masterpiece. Not only is the story carefully worked out (remember that the Mahabharat actually consist of many different stories together, each about a specific theme of life), but also the characters are superbly cast. It looks like actually they ARE the characters they are playing. Because you can recognize each of the characters within yourself it is difficult to play just that aspect without having an overlap with other characters. The atmosphere which is created is done in a simple manner, without special effects. Although you can feel while watching it is played inside, the intimate setting gives you the feeling of actually looking into the hearts of the players/characters. Each player got the freedom to express the caracter according to there own cultural background which gives it the extra dimension to recognize these characters in our daily life and within yourself. It is romantic as well as philosophical, full of depth that even watching the great epic (it takes over 6 hours!!!) for the fourth time it feels like a wonderful journey and a meditation at the same time.
