The Silk Road House continues live storytelling
sessions which will bring you and your children on an imaginary journey to the
magical world of fairy tales and epic stories once wildly popular along the
historical Silk Roads.
No matter what
happens, even if your father sells you to a witch or an enemy khan throws you
into a prison pit, you can always count on your horse to save the day, as we
see in "Itygil" and "Alpamys."
In February and March, we are offering a special
eight-week storytelling series that presents newly translated Kazakh fairy
tales, told for the first time in English. Each session will feature a
storytelling performance for all ages, followed by a seminar discussion for
adults connecting the stories to Kazakh folk culture led by Silk Road House
director and Stanford anthropologist Alma Kunanbaeva. This is a unique
opportunity to understand traditional tales in their cultural context, and we
hope you can join us, whether once or for the whole program!
