From Mahabharata to Workplace Justice

  • Resumen

  • Send us a text

    What happens when an epic Hindu poem collides with modern workplace bias?

    Artistic-director Sharanya Rao joins Kirk to trace three big chapters of her journey: consulting on Mahabharata Tales for Austin Shakespeare, founding Leela Indian Community Theatre, and creating Anklets in the Boardroom, a Theatre of the Oppressed production where spectators jump onstage to rewrite real discrimination scenarios. https://www.leelatheatre.org/

    In this conversation:

    Cutting the Mahabharata down to a 2-hour stage piece (and the “must-have” scenes)

    Why Austin needed a South-Asian community stage—and how Leela was born in 2012

    Theatre of the Oppressed 101: “spect-actors,” no spectators

    How story circles turn real workplace stories into live scripts

    The power of name-pronunciation, audience agency, and non-violent rehearsal

    May 16-18 performances of Anklets in the Boardroom at Austin PBS
