Description
-
Presented at Flax Studios in Oakland from November 15 to December 8, 2019, this production featured J. Jha in a solo performance of Geetha Reddy’s adaptation of the ancient Indian epic Mahābhārata. Condensing one of South Asia’s most expansive mythological narratives into a single-performer format, the staging relied on physical transformation, gesture, and vocal modulation to evoke multiple characters and shifting moral landscapes. By reimagining the epic within an intimate Bay Area performance space, Reddy’s text foregrounded the enduring relevance of dharma, conflict, and kinship for contemporary diasporic audiences.
