KARNA – Death Conqueror
A theatrical odyssey through myth, morality, and martial arts

• Karna – Death Conqueror is a powerful reimagination of the legendary character from the Mahabharata, weaving together forgotten narratives, human dilemmas, and the timeless essence of ethical struggle. This intense solo-style performance—brought alive by three exceptionally versatile female performers—offers a deeply moving and physically charged journey into Karna’s psyche, exploring themes of identity, abandonment, and loyalty against the turbulent backdrop of war and dharma.
• The play doesn’t just narrate Karna’s story—it resurrects his voice in today’s world of moral ambiguity, using storytelling tools that transcend time. By combining traditional martial art forms like Mayurbhanj Chau, Thang-Ta, Kalaripayattu, and Manipuri dance, the production becomes a stunning physical and visual experience.
• Premiered at the prestigious Prithvi Theatre in Mumbai and showcased in Europe at the “In De Sporen Van” Theatre Festival, Karna has already left its mark on both national and international stages.
