Fire from the Woods (Her Father Has Nothing to Say)

Part of Edinburgh Tradfest 2024
Sometimes fathers are silent and children grow up without stories. How can the children of these fathers release their trapped lips? We humans have the right to know our ancestors’ stories. By reimagining old tales from Lithuania and around the world, storyteller Daiva Ivanauskaitė and musician Gaynor Barradell explore the silence between generations. Let them take you to the deep dark woods and meet the old man with the wire beard, always hungry for unheard stories.
Directed by Lauren Bianchi. Supported by The Village Storytelling Centre.
