When the common thread sounds blue
A glimpse into the art of multilingual storytelling
"Nonna, perchè hai tanti peli sulla mano?" asked the fairy tale.
"Because I wore many rings when I was young," replied the grandmother.
What did the girl ask? What does the grandmother's answer refer to? The common thread of a story that is told continuously in two or more languages transforms for a moment into something else, only to reappear a few lines later. When reading, it is more difficult to understand the meaning of this passage.
But when listening to a story told vividly, that's another story! The listeners draw on helpful clues to follow the common thread. In this workshop, we will practise fluent storytelling on stage. But when listening to a
lively story, that's another story! The listeners draw on helpful
clues to follow the thread. In this workshop, we will playfully
explore a story, look for suitable places to switch languages
and tell the story in "two colours".
