What if one of the greatest warriors ever told… stepped right into a futuristic stage world?
KARN: Warrior is landing at Theatre by QE2 on February 15, bringing a powerful, hi-tech retelling of one of the most complex heroes from the Indian Mahabharata. This is not your typical historical show, it’s a modern take on an epic story, blending storytelling, technology, original music, and striking choreography into one epic performance.
What is KARN?
At the heart of KARN: Warrior is the legendary mythical warrior Karn, known for strength, loyalty, and deep inner conflict. In the Indian Mahabharata, KARN the warrior is one of the most skilled fighters ever described, but his story is just as much about identity and destiny as it is about battle.
Karn grows up in a humble village by the Ganges, raised by his parents Rahda and Adirath, never knowing his true noble origins. As a teenager in Hastinapur, he dreams of becoming a great archer, even though he’s seen as only a stable boy among princes. His journey eventually leads to the legendary Kurukshetra War, where he faces his arch-rival Arjun and finally uncovers the truth about who he really is.
One the most asked questions is: How many did Karn kill? In mythology, Karn was a powerful battlefield force, but what truly defines him isn’t numbers, it’s his loyalty, struggles, and the choices he makes.

This production is a reimagined, hi-tech retelling designed for modern audiences. Expect:
- Powerful stage visuals and immersive effects
- Emotional storytelling that feels current and relatable
- Original music that drives the energy of every scene
- Large-scale choreography inspired by ancient battle movement
It’s history, mythology, and modern theatre blended into one experience that feels both classic and fresh.
