Students of Mount Litera School International, one of Mumbai’s leading IB schools today performed a unique rendition of Mahabharta. The school gave a completely new account of the epic tale by showcasing it from the perspective of its leading ladies - Gandhari, Kunti and Draupadi. Following its inquiry-based learning methodology, the play aimed to imbibe Indian values in the students and showcase human frailties, character flaws and highlight follies of the great and good of society. The grand play saw over 100 students from the middle years program participate to perform this unique version of the epic tale and in the process also strengthen their roots to Indian mythology.

National award winner and director Tigmanshu Dhulia also graced the play and was in awe of the students’ performance. Students rendered the play in the form of dance and drama along with some influences of Yoga and Kalaripayattu. Directed by veteran theatre artist, Kriti V Sharma, the play was larger than life and successfully conveyed the messages of gender equality as well as the importance of rightly managing great power and ego. The head of school Ms. Mona Seervai said, “At Mount Litera School International, we strive to provide our students with holistic education in an innovative manner. This unique adaptation of Mahabharta taught our students how decisions based on ego and anger lead to disastrous results and ultimately irreparable loss. Mr. Dhulia’s presence is a fabulous surprise for the students. It really encouraged the students to put their best foot forward and we thank him for his time.”
