The concert Mahābhārata by Riccardo Nova revisits the ancient Indian epic of the same name.
With its more than 100,000 verses, the Mahābhārata is one of the longest poems in the world and tells the story of the conflict between two rival families.
This vast epic recounts the struggle for the kingdom of Kurukshetra and the legendary battle in which nearly all the warriors on both sides perished.
With Mahābhārata, Riccardo Nova reimagines the Indian epic by bringing to the stage mantras, ancestral rhythms, and contemporary sounds.
