Scottish International Storytelling Festival
Co-sponsored by the Elphinstone Institute and the Grampian Association of Storytellers
Inspired by interviews conducted with refugees, ‘The Promise’, presented by storyteller Anna Conomos and musician Rebecca Vučetić, centres on two best friends, one Greek, one Turkish, and the promise that unites them forever. This powerful performance is based around Greek tales, songs, and music from Asia Minor.
'Anna Conomos has revived this neglected tradition of storytelling for the grown-up world. The snatches of unaccompanied song in her tale tugs at the heart, and transports us with the narrative into a place of wonder.' –The Telegraph
'I love Anna’s powerful, crisp style of storytelling and especially the way she includes heart-wrenching emotional songs and music. She performed her dramatic, dark Creation Story at Windsor Castle for leaders from nine of the world’s major faiths.' – BBC
