Who better to voice what’s going on than storytellers? Storytelling is the art form of telling a tale in which every detail is given space, drawing the listener in from beginning to end without knowing where it will lead.
For the Poetry International Festival, we have curated a special storytelling showcase featuring three creators from Mezrab, the storytelling hub of Amsterdam.
Experienced storytellers Rasha Hilwi, Irina Koriazova, and Sahand Sahebdivani present a performance inspired by the festival theme. Poetry and storytelling merge, as personal narratives intertwine with poetic street slogans from the performers’ cultures.
