1
Debate on the Mahabharata
  • Interculturalism and Intraculturalism
  • Jasmine

The Mahabharata
  • One of the two greatest epics in India
  • (Mahabharata, Ramayana)
  • Significance
  • Directed by Peter Brook
  • Characteristics-intercultural theatre, hard work.
  • Main idea- not to represent but to give different
    meaning.

Criticism upon the Mahabharata
  • Rustom Bharucha-Indian scholar
  • Intraculturalsim( ????????)(1987)
  • the agencies of intraculturalism are more
    concerned with mobilizing a consciousness of
    differences among its participants.(Bharucha,2000)
  • Intercultural ( ??????) theatre practice
    (1977)-Richard Schechner
  • Western power

  • I think
  • The right to choose what they want.
  • consciousness

Criticismby Bharucha
  • 1.orientalism?make profits
  • 2.Appropriate the meanings of The Mahabharata,
    the Indian epic, for the westerners.
  • 3.too short
  • If Brook had been concerned with the context of
    The Mahabharata, he might not have attempted to
    summarize the entire story within nine hours.
    (Rustom Bharucha 1993)

My thoughts
  • 1.the problem of different levels
  • Interculturalism?Intraculturalism
  • Efforts of Peter Brook
  • Dilemma in many fields.
  • Think about who is the beneficiary the Indians
    or the team of Peter Brook
