Saturday night on March 21st tucked away in the Palmerston Library Theatre we celebrated the magic of traditional folk tales as we laughed and journeyed through time and lands, lead by our fearless and wise tellers.

A big thank you to our wonderful community for helping this event come to life including our incredible volunteers, a big shout out to Anna for baking yummy treats for our ✨Snack Lounge✨

We heard tales from across the globe with wisdom imparted from grandmothers (Feni Fina) that teach about the journey of life "we come into this life alone and we go alone also", and an Inuit folktale (Alistair Martin) performed with a 'Skeleton Woman' mask. Rensia Melles shared a story about a foolish king who narrowly survives a cannibal cult thanks to the wisdom of his trusted advisor.

Misbehaving and tricks was a theme in the evening with Brandon Lista sharing a tale from the 'Next Teller' collected by Dan Yashinksy, story contributed by Steve Altstedter, where Koji a young boy in a Monestary. 

Chukky Enyi Ibe shared an original folk tale about a boy stuck in a never ending loop whilst Laxmi Balaji shared of a disciple also stuck in a never ending task in a bit to spare himself from a hungry demon.

We filled out the Palmerston Library Theatre again for a spirited evening of storytelling and if you missed this show don't worry our next Tales of Wisdom storytelling concert is on April 25th!
