In December 1972, the director Peter Brook and an international troupe of actors (Helen Mirren and Yoshi Oida among them) left their Paris base to emerge again in the Sahara desert. It was the start of an 8,500-mile expedition through Africa without precedent in the history of theater. Brook was in search of a new beginning that has since been revealed in all his work--from \u003cem\u003eConference of the Birds\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eCarmen\u003c\/em\u003e to \u003cem\u003eThe\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eMahabharata\u003c\/em\u003e and beyond.
