Description
-
J. Jha appears as the Itahasavid, the storyteller who guides audiences through the unfolding events of the Mahābhārata in Geetha Reddy’s 2019 staging in Oakland. Seated with minimal props, the figure introduces episodes drawn from the epic’s vast narrative of kinship, war, and moral conflict. The solo format foregrounds the act of narration itself, positioning the Itihāsavid as both witness and conduit. Within the intimate setting of Flax Studios, Reddy’s text reframed the classical Sanskrit epic as a living, performative exchange between storyteller and audience.
