Karn: Warrior tells the epic story of Mythical warrior Karn, who sets out to bring peace and justice to Ancient India.
Based on the legendary stories from the Mahabharata, Karn grows up in the humble village of Champangari on the shores of The Ganges, with his parents Rahda and Adirath, and his younger brother Shon, never knowing the true origins of his noble birth.
As a teenager he is brought by his father, a charioteer for King Dritrashtra, to the fabulous city of Hastinapur to tend the King’s horses. But Karn wants to learn to be a great archer and show his skills in the War Arena. However Karn is just a stable boy, how can he take his place among the Princes of the city?
This is just the start of Karn’s journey which finishes with the legendary battle between the Kauravas and the Pandavas in the Kurukshetra War. There Karn learns of his real origins from the manipulative Krishna and must defeat his arch-rival Prince Arjun, before he is finally able to answer the question that has haunted him all his life: Who am I?
Karn:Warrior is brought to the stage in an immersive hi-tech innovative production that is described as like “stepping inside a video game” and will thrill both theatre-lovers and gamers alike.
Produced by ANT Management, the production is directed by Dubai’s leading professional stage director Alex Broun (The Jury Experience, torn, All That Glitters) and stars Rochelle G , Daria Borisova and Anita Nayyar as Karn.
Featuring fight routines choreographed by Narsimha “Nattu” Chouhan, movement consultant Gillian Rhodes (The Ugly One, Elephant Man), a rhythmic powerful score composed by Daniel Faber, with stunning visual images on the giant LED screen designed by Montel Goodrick Maiava.
This is one not to be missed. Playing for one day only on Sunday January 25th, 2026 at the stunning Theatre by QE2, alongside Dubai’s most fascinating cultural district, Shindagha, with shows at 2 pm and 7pm. Book now before it sells out.
