Another STORYing festival is upon us, offering a story not to be missed!
On Saturday, May 18, 2024, we will host the 5th International Storytelling Festival in Zagreb, bringing you the world’s best storytellers and stories that will knock you off your feet.
This year, stories will be particularly dark and seductive!
Find out below what we have prepared for you and how and where to get tickets!
Evening program for adults
When we say “dark and seductive”, we mean the king of dark humor – the iconic, inimitable Giovanni Boccaccio and his eternal, intoxicating Decameron. The beloved classic of the world hit literature is coming to Zagreb as a contemporary and dynamic storytelling performance that has already conquered the world. The card was more sought after in the USA, Canada, Asia, and the UAE, and now it’s the turn of Zagreb and all its guests!
The performers of the play “Sex and the City 1300 – Tales from the Boccaccio’s Decameron” are Paola Balbi and Davide Bardi, leading stars of Italian storytelling, graduated actors, and founders of the prestigious Roman storytelling center Raccontamiunastoria.
A lively, entertaining, and powerful show with plenty of Italian humor and glamor is the perfect introduction to Saturday evening. Don’t miss it!
The program is organized in cooperation with the Italian Institute of Culture, a partner and friend of this year’s STORYing.
Date: Saturday, May 18, 7 – 8:30 p.m
Location: Trešnjevka Cultural Center (CeKaTe) (https://maps.app.goo.gl/bPym7Yasoqt1xzcg8)
The performance is held in English without translation into Croatian.
Storytelling workshop for adults
This year’s STORYing is not only an opportunity to hear the best stories from Europe. It provides you with a direct and reliable opportunity to improve your storytelling skills under the mentorship of leading Italian experts. On May 18, Paola Balbi and Davide Bardi will hold a dynamic storytelling workshop with practical exercises filled with great advice. The workshop will take place in the StoryLab. The workshop is intended for everyone who is already involved in storytelling on a professional or hobbyist level. We ask all participants to come to the workshop with a prepared story that they want to refine with their mentors (preferably a myth, legend, or folk tale).
Don’t miss it!
