Καλά να είστε!
Αγαπημένοι παραμυθάδες και φίλοι του παραμυθιού! Εμείς οι παραμυθάδες δεν λέμε μόνο παραμυθια αλλά μας αρέσει και να ακούμε! Οι δάσκαλοι μας έλεγαν πως όποιος δεν ακούει, δε λέει! Έρχεται το Φεστιβάλ του Εδιμβούργου! Οργανωθείτε! Είναι από τα καλύτερα και από τα πιο ενδιαφέρντα φεστιβάλ αφήγησης της Ευρώπης και μάλιστα γίνεται στο πανέμορφο, φθινωπορινό Εδιμβούργο!
Σας φιλώ, συγγνώμη, μεταφέρω αμετάφραστο το κείμενο. Νομίζω πως όλοι λίγο πολύ τα παλεύουμε τα αγγλικά!

Scottish International Storytelling Festival
THE WORLD’S FINEST FEAST OF TRADITIONAL STORYTELLING
Scottish International Storytelling Festival 2014
Once Upon a Place
Friday 24 October – Sunday 2 November
Once Upon a Place looks at the past, handed on to us
in story and celebrates our common humanity with tales and songs that
connect across the continents in a 10-day feast of storytelling
ceilidhs, talks, landscape tours and specially commissioned performances
exploring:- Celebrations of Sir Walter Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson
- Stories, visual imagination and landscapes
- Dream, fantasy & prophecy stories
- Imagining a Nation
- 1st World War
The Festival will celebrate the creative connections between live narrative and place in Scotland, Europe and the Pacific region, exploring
the traditional and innovative ways in which people express their sense
of identity by ‘seeing stories’ in their landscapes – rural and urban.
Guest storytellers from Europe, North America and the Pacific regions,
perform alongside the cream of Scotland’s renowned storytelling talent,
with a finale weekend marking the ancient Celtic New Year of
Samhainn/Hallowe’en.
The programme will once again bring Edinburgh to life
as a city of story and radiate storytelling out from the capital
across the country with the Festival on Tour strand, with events in
Orkney, Fife, Aberdeenshire, Glasgow, Dundee and Clackmannanshire to
name a few.
Evening events ensure adults enjoy warming nights alongside a rich
programme of family friendly events in a variety of locations around the
city, including a family weekend with a special focus on the next
creative wave of young storytellers.
There will be specific anniversary events for Walter
Scott and Literary Edinburgh, commemorations of WWI, and a retelling of
Scotland’s sense of its own historical narrative with Andy Cannon’s Tales of a Grandson, in partnership with the MacRobert Arts Centre and the National Museum of Scotland.
Tales of a Grandson tickets are already on sale through Festival Theatre and if you book before Sunday 21 September you can save £5.
Further news on tickets and the full programme for the world’s number one celebration of storytelling traditions coming soon!
