Event Description

Dr SL Bhyrappa’s believes PARVA is his greatest novel: “It is 20 per cent The Mahabharata, and 80 mine,” he says. He manages to achieve an intimacy with the characters caught in the conflicts of power, lust, love and war, but also maintains a critical distance as the narrator.

PARVA is startling in its intellectual and emotional clarity; Bhyrappa’s interpretation of 'The Mahabharata', without miracles or divine intervention, as timeless as the epic and always urgent, here and now.

PARVA in English, brings to you this literary classic, with a brilliant stage adaption, passionate acting, live music and creative production design.

The original 8-hour performance in Kannada (also adapted and directed by Prakash Belawadi for Mysore Rangayana), did a total of 57 shows, with audiences standing up to applaud for 15 minutes after each performance. The previous runs of this English version in October 2023, and in May 2024 saw 6 shows and elated, emotional reviews. Come, experience it.
