Everyone pays what they can. As a guideline: to enable us to continue paying the bills for the storytelling stage, we would be grateful for a “regular admission” fee of 15 euros or more 🙂, but anyone who cannot afford this is still welcome to come and pay less.
STORYTELLING STAGE in the KulturMarktHalle
Rachel Donaldson Clarke reinterprets the ballad form for our times.
A ballad is a story told in verse. Rhythm and rhyme lend the story power and dynamism. Even everyday events become epic. The great poets and storytellers Robert Burns, Goethe and Schiller wrote ballads in their days. The Scotsman Burns recited his ballads to audiences on stages, in salons and pubs, to the delight of his listeners. Rachel discovered this form for herself when she translated Burns' "Tam o' Shanter" into German verse. Now she recites two of her own ballads live, each dealing with an important current issue of our time. Unlike her other stories, she does not narrate freely here – but of course without a script – because a script is taboo in oral storytelling. Feel welcome, everyone.
The second half of the event is an open storytelling stage. Here, members of the audience freely tell stories. Many of them are also professional storytellers, like the main guest. But here they try things out. Just as they have been doing for almost 20 years on Berlin's oldest and most welcoming storytelling stage.
Welcome – as listeners and/or storytellers.
