NEW YORK, NEW YORK, June 25, 2025 (licolncenter.org press release): Discover a once-in-a-generation theatrical experience weaving ancient wisdom with modern spectacle in Why Not Theatre’s visually stunning retelling of the Sanskrit epic, Mahabharata.

A contemporary take on a story that is over 4,000 years old and foundational to Indian culture, this tale of a family feud is an exploration of profound philosophical and spiritual ideas that are more relevant than ever.

This large-scale narrative is told in two distinct parts—Part One: Karma: The Life We Inherit and Part Two: Dharma: The Life We Choose. Throughout the experience, the production undergoes an evolution in storytelling, from the most ancient and intimate to a contemporary and technologically integrated spectacle. Led by an international South Asian cast, Mahabharata presents a hybrid of cultures, balancing East and West, traditional and contemporary.

The show has been done in two parts, first on June 24 and second June 25.
