International Storytelling Festival Kolotoč příběhů

Description

The International Storytelling Festival Kolotoč příběhů is the only event of its kind in the Czech Republic. In addition to storytelling performances, the program will include the second edition of the international conference Storytelling in Practice, workshops, discussions, StoryJam, a city game with stories for families, a neighborhood dinner, children's yoga with stories, a storytelling walk, school programs, and the premiere of an educational and experiential program in virtual reality. This year's program is centered around the theme of women and girls as prominent figures in various meanings across countries and cultures. The festival is intended for a wide audience, from children to youth, adults, and seniors. Alongside traditional storytelling performances, it offers programs that blur genre boundaries, such as a storytelling walk from Kende's villa, a musical storytelling performance Invocation of St. Hildegard in the newly renovated Church of St. Prokop and St. John the Baptist, or the premiere of a film in virtual reality in the project Klepy VR Memories of the Nation of South Bohemia. This year’s guests will include Katarzyna Jackowska-Enemuo and Mateusz Szemraj from Poland, Vida Vojić from Sweden, Martin Ellrodt from Germany, Milda Varnauskaitė from Lithuania, Ariane Pawin from France, Oksana Zhuravel-Ohorodnyk from Ukraine, Markéta Holá, Barbora Špačková from the Czech Republic, mixed choirs AÚÚÚNA and Pramendík from České Budějovice, and the event will also feature the organizers and members of the Verbarium association, Kristina Nesvedová and Michala Piskačová. The event is organized by the Verbarium association, a member of the Federation for European Storytelling FEST, the platform for creative learning uMĚNÍM, and the Association of Theatre Educators of the Czech Republic. The festival has received the patronage of the Czech Commission for UNESCO.
