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.
