Storyteller Hannah Moore, along with guest tellers and musicians, will be telling fairy tales for adults and inviting listeners to dive into the wild world of images and dreamscapes that traditional stories open up.
The Wonder Night Cafe is an evening of two halves, with space to talk about the stories as well as listen to them.
Further info:
Traditional wondertales (like the fairy stories collected by the Grimms brothers) are deeply layered metaphors for human experience. Magical, otherworldly and transporting, people find a deep pleasure in listening to them and in wandering through the imaginative realms they conjure up. And these stories are more than just entertainment. They have been passed on for hundreds of years because they explore life’s essential themes:
Love & loss, conflict & peace, oppression & liberation, trauma & healing, and so many more - all the challenges and possibilities of ourselves, our relationships, our communities, our nations, our species.
