1001 Nacht zu Hause - 5 - with Storyteller Richard Martin

ENGLISH BELOW

Einmal im Monat findet in Berlin die Erzählbühne statt. Dort präsentieren renommierte Storyteller*innen Erzählkunst vom Feinsten und es gibt eine offene Bühne, wo das Publikum frei erzählen kann.

Wegen der Corona-Pandemie kann die Erzählbühne nicht im Theater stattfinden. Aber gar nicht erzählen geht gar nicht! Den Hauptteil des Abends gestaltet Storyteller Richard Martin, größtenteils in englischer Sprache. Im Anschluss gibt es eine offene Erzählbühne. Da kann selbstverständlich wieder deutsch gesprochen werden.

Once a month the storytelling stage Erzählbühne takes place in Berlin. Renowned artists present storytelling at its best. And the audience gets to tell its stories on an open stage.

Because of the pandemic we cannot host the event live as usual. But no storytelling is no option either!

So we will have Storyteller Richard Martin with:

Hänsel’s Stepmother – and other lockdown tales

Richard’s last in-person performance was in South Tyrol. The date, February 2020 – a week before the appearance there of the mysterious illness which was to change our lives. Yet Richard’s last twelve months have been full of storytelling – as he has learnt to adapt this ancient art to the digital medium.

This evening presents a few of the tales which have come from that experience.

Richard Martin,

originally from England, but now based in Germany, has performed professionally around the world for over 30 years. The folk tales he tells – sometimes comic, sometimes bawdy, sometimes profound fairy tales – reflect the full range of our human nature. These stories remind us, for better or worse, of who we are.

His extensive website features a free video gallery of over a hundred tales: www.tellatale.eu
