IATC(HK) Critics Award 2023 – Award of Scenography of the Year, Nomination of Director of the Year Hailed as one of the most thought-provoking stage performances of the summer of 2023, Bhagavad Gita comes back in June this year! Bhagavad refers to The Venerable, Gita refers to Chant. Bhagavad Gita, which originated from Indian epic Mahabharata, is a war story of an ancient Indian kingdom. At the eve of war, Lord Krishna revealed the wisdom of Indian Yoga to warrior Arjuna: Adhyatma, Brahma, Dharma, Samsara and the wisdom of three gunas, by eradicating the attachment to the self can one attain spiritual awareness. Today, as humanity grapples with endless conflicts and the relentless onslaught of artificial intelligence, the Bhagavad Gita may offer us profound revelations. Director Tang Shu-wings Bhagavad Gita is a spiritual journey filled with visual and auditory imagery, reimagined through contemporary theatre to reveal the current situation of todays era.
