Community Meal and Storytelling Session
KHANA & KAHANI:
Mahabharata is a tale that unfolds over a lifetime, one that requires prolonged contemplation. To explore the profound philosophical questions arising from the Pandava family’s thirteen years of exile, audience members who see Part 1 and Part 2 on the same day are invited to gather between performances to enjoy an authentic Indian meal accompanied by a story and deeper exploration of the themes of The Mahabharata. Hosted by two charismatic storytellers, the illuminating conversation offers the audience an intimate experience much like that of families who have shared The Mahabharata around the dinner table for generations.
