The Donkey's Jaw (in English)
Story Oase 2024 - International Storytelling Festival
© Storytelling Festival StoryLAB
Saturday, August 31st at the Theater unterm Dach:
7:30 pm:
"What kind of stories did you grow up with?" Raphael Rodan asks the audience and casually adds "for me, these were the stories where God is the bad guy and women have no place but as a rib covering a man's lungs, the notorious stories of the Old Testament."
In "The Donkey's Jaw", a 60-min storytelling show with live music, Rodan strips ancient myths like Cain and Abel, Samson and Delilah and King Saul off their religious connotations and revives them with the light of his own personal life experiences. He tells about growing up in modern Israel, falling in love with his first girlfriend, feeling jealousy towards his brother and getting rejected by his father. While gracefully shifting from salty humour to moments of greath depth, he uses the stories to reflect together with the audience on the universal topics that are as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago.
The storytelling is accompanied by the angelic singing of singer-songwriter Erik Sjøholm, all with a hint of Leonard Cohen in the air.
Around the world in 15 stories
The open-air festival "Story Oase" takes you on another journey on the last holiday weekend - right in the centre of Berlin. 15 storytellers from seven countries will tell stories in German and English on the topic of "Transmission - right here, right now". How do coexistence and understanding succeed? The stories take us on a journey into the distance in order to come back to ourselves: What can we do, here and now, when the world is upside down and its existence is threatened?
Mimesis Heidi Dahlsveen, the Norwegian grande dame of storytelling, has the goddess of love ride a pig into the realm of death in "Who cares for Death?" - because death inspires us for life.
Raphael Rodan from Israel tells of feelings of guilt towards his little brother, from whom he swindled the coolest carnival costume - until the latter reveals to him years later his completely different view of this vulgarity.
Christine Lander experienced how life can suddenly hang by a thread in Syria in 2010. She tells of dissappearance, courage and love of freedom.
With narrators from Norway, Israel/Netherlands, Finland, Hungary, Italy and Germany.
