BEFORE THE MAHABHARATA
Abstract
International Centre for Theatre Research, founded in 1970 by Micheline Rozan and Peter Brook, has been a major institution to spread a multicultural and experimentalist spirit in theatre. The twelve-hour play The Mahabharata is one of the trademarks of the institution in which Brook has blended Eastern motifs with the Western practices. However, his journey before the Mahabharata contains significant traces of English and French theatre traditions as well as world drama. This paper analyzes the foundation of the Centre and investigates the process that Brook and his crew went through.
