Storytelling Show

Travel back in time with performance storyteller Ziyadliwa as she introduces you to women in the middle ages who refuse to take life lying down. From chaste women overcoming great odds and wicked mothers-in-law putting obstacles in the way of their “sisters” to female tricksters and women who aren’t afraid to say – and do! – what they want, this evening is filled with tales about women who gain the upper hand, one way or the other.

An Iron Age body is discovered in a peat bog, preserved so well that it's mistaken for a modern fatality. What happens next? Join storyteller Ziyadliwa in Innsbruck for a tale filled with wonders from the Celtic world.

SOLD OUT

Some say that bread was what we humans needed to get on the path towards civilisation. Others say that the catalyst was, in fact, beer. And the ancient tales tend to support the latter idea. So imagine that world exists. It’s a world in which the accidental discovery of beer leads to murder and mayhem, adventure and abundance, and love, lies, and laughter.

SOLD OUT

An ancient Greek myth retold for our times about connection and interconnection, causes and consequences, life and love, humans and the natural world, and the woman who used needle and thread to challenge the perspectives of the gods. Woven between and around several films from the Innsbruck Nature Film Festival to create a whole new story. Performed in English by South African storyteller Suzanne Whitby, known on stage as Ziyadliwa.

Storyteller Ziyadliwa (aka Suzanne Whitby) will be performing two 30-minutes storytelling shows at Innsbruck's Botanical Garden. Expect tales of giants, curious folk, and the star of the Alps...
