“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page.” St. Augustine – the 4th century.
Is it possible to stop travelling ? Is there an end to the trip ? What would happen if the world stopped turning ?
From 15 to 20 March 2016, the House of arts and storytelling organizes the 17th edition of the international festival of storytelling and monodrama, in collaboration with Monot theate. Jihad Darwish is the artistic director. Five travelers are invited : Nadine Walsh, Aini Iften, Delye Pierre Marc Buléon and Marcel Zaragoza to travel to Beirut, equiped with their speech as a universal passport.
As happens every year, performances are shown every night in St. Joseph Crypt by professional storytellers and preceded by young Lebanese storytellers. Professional storytellers also offers shows in different places of the city: schools, libraries, cultural centers … The festival ends with the “Contest liars” which brings together the five storytellers on stage.
