2. What connects us, a Storytelling Comedy Campaign

In a storytelling comedy campaign, several generations tell stories about the six stages of life – in stage performances, at demonstrations and neighbourhood festivals – thus creating a narrative that connects us all.

Funded by Fonds Soziokultur and the Federal Commissioner for Culture and the Media as part of its general project funding programme.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to our donors for their support.

Storytelling, poetic & political

These epic verse stories or ballads take a stand on the issues of our time.
They promote diversity, democracy, social cohesion, and the common good.

Goethe and Robert Burns wrote ballads — but their content focused on very different topics.
They have one thing in common with these stories in terms of genre:
they are long poems that tell a story.

I conceived this ballad as a live narrative for the stage, as a keynote speech
for conferences or demonstrations.

Three have been turned into narrative short films.

Storytelling Shorts.

Three modern ballads or epic verse stories by Rachel Clarke have been turned into storytelling short films.
A Storytelling Short (film) is made up of a voiceover by a narrator and
a moving image sequence which another level of meaning to the story.

Storytelling Shows

Storytelling programmes on contemporary topics since 2012.
Autobiographical, documentary, political, and the stories of today's everyday heroes.

The participating storytelling artists and musicians lived in these countries for five or more years —
as well as for many years in Germany —
and compare life and values here and there.

With optional open mic for your stories and insights.
