GERMANY. Gidon Horowitz

Thank you very much for the invitation to join in participating in "Stories to change the world".

I would like to, but unfortunately, I have no possibility to do so this year. But I will keep the date in mind for next year.

Meanwhile I would like to draw your attention on the "opposite" date 21. December - in the northern hemisphere the longest night of the year.

Reza Maschajechi, a storyteller born in Iran who lives in Germany since many years, told me of the old persian tradition to tell stories on that evening to keep away evil spirits hovering around in the darkness. I took up the idea and began to tell stories on that evening - stories to bring light into the world.
So maybe this could also be a good occasion to tell stories worldwide - stories to bring light in different ways, healing, consciousness, wisdom, laughter....

Best wishes for a good summer!

Illuminating your life through story

FRANCE, Clément Riot

Hello,
El 21 de junio contaré en la escuela « Vertefeuille » (literalmente Hoja verde), de Perpignan (Francia), dos sesiones, mañana 10h y tarde 14h30, en el marco de una iniciativa de la « Ligue de l'Enseignement » llamada "Carta para la fraternidad" llevada con niños de unas clases de primaria que envían cartas sorteando sus corresponsales en la guia telefónica y esperando así respuesta de gente escogida al azar.

Contaré : « Juan del oso y sus historias », un espectáculo en el cual el personaje famoso de Juan del oso, mas que usar su fuerza tendrá que usar la palabra comoherramienta para cumplir con las pruebas que encontrara en su camino ».  

Esto me parece entrar totalmente en harmonía con "historias para cambiar el mundo".

Un cordial saludo

Clemente

Si les parece que puede sumar a la propuesta del 21 avisen que les mando todos los datos y promoción. Es en una librería y el público al que van dirigidos son niños muy pequeños acompañados de sus padres, tios, hermanos, abuelos...
