Detail
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, stage productions around the world have been severely restricted. The Hiroshi Koike Bridge Project’s Complete Mahabharata, which has been in development for 8 years, was postponed until August 2021, while other productions have inevitably been cancelled or delayed. In an attempt to try a new approach amidst these circumstances, the project has created a 5- minute photographic film inspired by the Mahabharata. These times of the pandemic have made “difference” become intolerable in society, and the work seeks to highlight the importance of open- mindedness through art and classical works, in an attempt to raise awareness of the necessity of coexisting in society.
