Storytelling: TALES & TARINAT
Join storytellers Eamonn Keenan, Anna-Maria Toivonen, Brent Ó Caiside, Anna Kaisa Kettunen and Aaron Gorman for an intimate and entertaining evening of storytelling and song with a brilliant group of storytellers aiming to tell a whole bunch of stories around legends, myth, adventure, folk lore, saints and sinners, love, mystic creatures and much more.
Oral storytelling bridges the past to the present using imagination as a creative way to entertain and make sense of our surroundings, events and unexplainable phenomena found in nature. In olden days, it was a major form of entertainment and simply put, a good story always survives the quest of time.
These events are in English but there could be a tale or two in Finnish.
