Retelling The Epic.
Karthika Nair was born in India, lives in Paris, and works as a dance producer and curator. She is the author of Bearings, a poetry collection; DESH: Memories, inherited, borrowed, invented, a dance diary; and The Honey Hunter/ Le Tigre de Miel, a children’s book illustrated by Joëlle Jolivet. Nair was the principal storywriter and scriptwriter of DESH, choreographer Akram Khan’s multiple-award-winning dance production.
As a dance producer, Nair has worked in several Parisian cultural centres and with choreographers Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Damien Jalet and Mourad Merzouki (Käfig). She is associate programmer of Festival Equilibrio in Rome. In a tête-à-tête she talks about her new book ‘Until the Lions’, in which she retells the epic through multiple voices. The book captures the Mahabharata through the lenses of nameless soldiers, outcast warriors and handmaidens but also abducted princesses, tribal queens and a gender-shifting god.
