Hiroshi KOIKE Bridge Project

What is Mahabharata?
Mahabharata is a classic Indian religious scripture. The title means Great 'Maha' Bharatas story which is almost 15times long of Bible. Mahabharata spreads not only in India, but also Asian countries as Java, Malay, Thai, Bali, etc. They worship Mahabharata as their guideline, like religious, ideal, cultural, philosophical, ethical, political, and legal.
The core story of Mahabharata is a dynastic struggle for the throne. The two collateral branches of the Bharata family that participate in the struggle are the Kaurava and the Pandava. The struggle culminates in the great battle of Kurukshetra. The main cause of the struggle are concupiscence, envy, anger, animosity and sadness.
KOIKE HIROSHI bridge project produced Chapter 1 in Cambodia 2013. And Chapter 2 was in India and 5 other Asian countries 2015.
This Chapter 2.5 is from the scene 'exile to the forest' to before 'the war' scene.
This mythical story was narrated beyond time, nation and religion.
We produce it for all civilian.


Director's Note
Mahabharata is one of the world's three major epic. In Southeastern to Southern Asia, it is the most famous narrative up to Ramayana. We Japanese don't have to learn the details, better to know that this story has linked current events in Japan. Enmity and Suspicion leads the big battle. Can you say, 'Oh, I'm in trouble..' if you were in this kind of situation?
This series began from Cambodia in 2013, India in 2014, this year in Japan and next year in Indonesia and so on…until 2020. Collaborate with asian artists, we are going to create the harmonised world. In contradictory to the ruining story, we seek HARMONY. Based on skilled asian artists' help, we will create the best stage. Please enjoy this middle part of long, long narrative.
Since too long it is, I can't make it in one stage. Till 2017, we continue to represent with talented asian artists and target the Final in 2020.
