Cultural diversity Q: In 1985, when Peter Brook used an abandoned quarry at Avignon for a nine-hour performance by actors from various countries of the Hindu epic poem Mahabharata, many people hailed the production as a successful blend of numerous cultural elements. But others felt that Brook did not have a deep enough understanding of Hindu thought, so that the work was another example of oriental exoticism.
問：一九八五年彼得．布魯克在亞維儂的廢石礦區，動用各國演員演出長達九小時的印度史詩《摩訶婆羅多》，有許多人認為他成功地融合多種文化元素，但也有人覺得他並沒有深入瞭解印度思想，而使作品成為又一個「東方情調」的代表。
