The invisible beauty of acceptance (in English)

Story Oase 2024 - International Storytelling Festival

• 

Thursday, August 29th at the Kulturinsel / Open Air:

8:45 pm:

The world around us is a set of impressions, stimuli, new and old images - and deep down - memories. A reflection - of the mirror - is something that, although it seems unchanged for a long time, is constantly evolving. What do we do with these pictures? How do we look at our own face in the mirror? Is the individual able to "create order" among the important or seemingly insignificant moments of the past? Is there anything worth changing? Is it possible to beautify or improve a given moment?

Hungarian storyteller Boglárska Klitsie-Szabad searches for the answers to the questions above through personal stories, reminiscences and folklore texts in her new programme first to be seen in Germany. She combines traditional stories from Hungary with the here and now in a contemporary, progressive way.

 

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.
