Two years ago at the International Storytelling Festival, Alden Biesen (Belgium)
Antje Horn (Germany) and Tom Van Mieghem (Belgium/Sinaai) met for the first time at the International Storytelling Festival. They
discovered many similarities in their professional past and their thinking about the art of
the art of storytelling and life. In the same year, they stood as a
bilingual tandem at the NARRARE festival in Jena. Since then, they have
their collaboration and have been touring together in Belgium and Germany
on the road together.

The narrator Antje Horn grew up in the GDR. She worked for many years in child
and adolescent psychiatry until she discovered storytelling as an art form for herself. Since the

Certificate course in "Artistic Storytelling" at the UdK Berlin in 2018, she has performed
europe as a solo artist or in tandem with storytelling programmes for people of all ages
Age groups. She has curated and directed the international storytelling festival NARRARE in Jena
also since 2018.

Tom Van Mieghem is a Belgian puppeteer and storyteller. His special,
artistic interest is working with people with intellectual disabilities, elderly people with dementia
People with dementia, prison inmates, children in hospital and young people with
with few educational opportunities. He also teaches and tells stories at the "Nederlandse
Vertelacademie" in Utrecht and at various other municipal academies. He is a
regular participant at the annual storytelling festival in Alden Biesen.
For Tom Van Mieghem, every story is an adventure. He dives into it completely, looks at it
inside and out until it fits the audience and him perfectly.
Since 2023, he has been on stage together with Antje Horn as a bilingual German-Belgian storytelling tandem
