1st International Storytelling festival in Italy
Rome 18-19-20 September 2009
As many stars are in the sky, there are stories to tell…and every story is a gift.
A year after the inspiring FEST-Federation for European Storytelling- meeting, Raccontamiunastoria Storytelling Company is proud to announce the 1st Italian Storytelling Festival, to be held in Rome on 18-19-20 of September.
In the heart of a city full of history, a festival to celebrate and share the magic of stories through tales, legends, myths and music.
A unique event to bring storytelling to the Italian and multicultural audience in Rome, where each storyteller will create a bridge of images between his/her own culture and the audience, making of each story a special gift.
The festival will be organised and promoted by Raccontamiunastoria, the first Italian Company entirely dedicated to storytelling and its diffusion in Italy since 2005.
Main goal of this first edition of the festival is to bring storytelling back to Italian audiences, promoting the revival of this traditional Art through the voices of the best International Storytellers.
Many International artists have already given their support and agreed to attend; among them: Graham Langley and Shan Stephens form England, David Ambrose from Wales, Miceal Ross from Ireland, Angela Knowels form Scotland, Heidi Dahlsveen from Norway, Sylvia Vemizelea from Greece, Francoise Moise Bamba from Burkina Faso, Mariella Bertelli, Charlie Chiarelli and Pina Marchese from Canada.
Shows will be performed in English (as an International language) and in Italian (local language).
A great choice of events will be available across the three days of the Festival: storytelling performances either for adults and children, Open Floors (where everyone is welcome to tell a story!), Sightseeing Storytelling and ethnic music (jam session of the musicians taking part to the festival).
Raccontamiunastoria International Storytelling Festival will be a big multicultural party open to anyone, professional storytellers, amateurs and audience who wishes to experience the great pleasure of sharing their culture, language and stories.
Events will take place from 11 am to 11 pm.
If you wish and can support this initiative by any means or want to take part to our Festival, please contact us and help us in making an unforgettable experience out of this first experiment!
