Peter Brook in the context of colognial thought and the Mahabharata as an example

In this study named "Peter Brook in the Context of Colonial Thought and the Mahabharata as an Example", the emergence process and cultural unilateralism of this movement, which has influenced many Western theorists and has been instrumental in the production of many works under the name of "Intercultural Theatre", will be discussed. The works of Antonin Artaud, Eugenio Barba, Jerzy Grotowski, and Peter Brook in the field of theater and intercultural theater will be discussed, and the way Peter Brook followed while staging his works and the sources he used will be examined. First of all, the concepts of Orientalism, Occidentalism and Postcolonialism, which became visible with the Neo-Colonial period, will be discussed, and in light of the data obtained, the production process of Peter Brook's Mahabharata will be tried to be associated with these theories in political, social and cultural terms The traces of cultural colonialism will be sought in the process of discovering and studying the work called "Mahabharata", which was adapted by the same director as theater plays, movies and serials, which made Peter Brook famous around the world.
