But Brook’s spiritual adventure also expanded in cinema: five great films – from the legendary Lord of the Flies (1963) to the five-hour long epic Mahabharata (1989) – give the portrait of a great and innovative artist. The spotlight to Peter Brook is complemented by a soulful documentary-portrait, shot in 2002 by his son, also a director, Simon Brook, who will be in Thessaloniki to talk about his father and the great artistic legacy he left behind.
