Answer 1

Akram Khan: A female poet called Karthika Naïr, who created Desh with us, approached me because she has written a collection of poems on female characters from the Mahabharata. When I appeared in Peter Brook’s version I was 13, and I don’t remember the women being super celebrated. They were not the main protagonists. Looking back, I can see that it gave a very male perspective, which is often the case with mythology. I remember the women in the company being incredible actors but also treating me like a son because I was missing my mum a lot. I got very close to these wonderful actors and it left me fascinated.
