But what if the threat you want to warn about lasts ten thousand years? How do you create a fable for the future that still makes sense when languages have disappeared, continents have shifted, and even the stars are no longer the same?
Swedish storyteller and scientist Karin Lundengård takes us on a journey of memory, exploring how humanity has preserved information throughout the ages. Family legends kept in journals, warnings carved into stones, tales lost on burnt papyrus that were saved by oral storytelling traditions, and ancient myths that have saved people from tsunamis. And in light of the growing dangers of nuclear waste on future generations, she asks “Can we build a story – a warning – that can last ten thousand years?”
A personal and thought-provoking show about how to deal with the dangers of nuclear waste, and how stories connect us to the generations that were, and those who are yet to come.
Audiences say: “A thoughtful and engaging evening; memory and myth, messages from the past, and the ephemeral nature of records.”
Alongside Karin, the Ropetackle hosts Amelia Ace Armande, Joshua Crisp and Marina Evans will be sharing tales of messages and memory.
