Description
-
J. Jha portrays Sanjay, the clairvoyant narrator of the Mahābhārata, in Geetha Reddy’s 2019 Oakland staging at Flax Studios. In the epic, Sanjay recounts the events of the Kurukshetra war to the blind king Dhritarashtra, serving as witness and interpreter of unfolding catastrophe. Within this solo production, Jha moved fluidly between Sanjay and other figures, embodying the layered structure of epic narration. The performance foregrounded storytelling as transmission, positioning the ancient Sanskrit text within an intimate contemporary Bay Area performance space.
