18 Days: Dusk of an Era

13 January 2023, Sathya Sai Grama

Sathya Sai Grama hosted a captivating performance by Prabhat as part of Annual Cultural Meet 2024, The Temple of Art, an internationally acclaimed artistic institution from India. The production, titled "18 Days: Dusk of an Era," delved into the epic saga of The Mahabharata, with a specific focus on the 18-day war. The narrative prompted thoughtful questions about the decisions made by Lord Krishna and explored the deaths of key characters such as Bhishma, Karna, Drona, and Abhimanyu.

The overarching theme of the performance was that everything unfolded for a reason and in adherence to dharma, the righteous path. Directed by Sharat R Prabhath and Bharat R Prabhath, the presentation showcased an intelligent blend of tradition and sophisticated stage techniques from the present technological era.

Sri Madhusudan Sai, visibly moved by the performance, expressed his enchantment with the recreation of the Kurukshetra War. His endorsement and hopeful anticipation for the production to travel globally signify a strong desire to share this culturally rich and artistically profound masterpiece with audiences worldwide.
