Foreign Devil, Silk Road
Constantinople. Tyre. Damascus. Samarkand. Istaravshan. Venice. Kathmandu. Chang’an. The journey is long, and anything but direct. Getting from China to Italy involves a muddled route of changing roads and curious places, filled with stories just waiting to be uncovered.
Join us for a live storytelling performance in English with world-class storyteller Suzanne Whitby, best known on stage as Ziyadliwa. Expect a high energy show and Suzanne’s signature combination of wild, wise, witty, and wonder-filled tales.

Content warning:
Storytelling shows rely heavily on myths, legends, and traditional stories. Ancient tales weren’t all “sweetness and light”. This performance may contain descriptions of birth, death, sex, violence, and behaviours that are no longer acceptable, all contextualised within a paradigm of mythic narrative, archetype and metaphor.
What to expect
Not sure what to expect from a storytelling show? It’s a bit like theatre, a one-person show in which you tap into the theatre of your mind and are transported to far-off places and new worlds. No screens. No distractions. Just you, the stories, and of course, your favourite beverage to keep you hydrated on the journey.
