Dora Awards 2025: ‘Mahabharata' dominates Toronto's top theatre honours amid major upsets
A sinewy, multidisciplinary retelling of an ancient Sanskrit epic dominated the 2025 Dora Awards on Monday night, capping an extraordinary journey for a show that was born in Canada and has gone on to tour the world. 'Karma, The Life We Inherit,' the first half of Why Not Theatre's two-part play 'Mahabharata,' won five Doras in the general theatre division, including for outstanding production and outstanding new play. Co-written by Miriam Fernandes and Ravi Jain, who also won individual awards for performance and direction, respectively, the show tells the story of two warring factions of an ancient noble family, whose conflict spills across generations.
