Innsbruck's resident storyteller Ziyadliwa offers new storytelling show to celebrate May Day

INNSBRUCK, Austria - April 16, 2018 - PRLog -- Entitled "The Goddess and the Green Man", this one-woman storytelling performance is filled with tales from the British Isles and Celtic sources.

She said: "The Green Man has always intrigued me, and although he is a character that we know little about, I see him as part of the cycle of seasons as well as a guardian of forests and nature. I played with some ideas, did an enormous amount of research, and the result is an original tale that weaves in legends and traditional tales that I hope audiences will enjoy."

The debut of the show will take place on 25th May 2018 in Innsbruck's Max Standard, a welcoming café just off the city's main tourist street, Maria-Theresien-Straße. When asked why she often tells in smaller venues, Ziyadliwa smiles somewhat enigmatically.

"Oral storytelling is a theatre for the mind, a combination of the intensity of a solo performance with the intimacy of a one-to-one conversation. It's hard to have a one-to-one conversation in a theatre filled with hundreds of people, so I often choose to tell in smaller venues of up to 100 people where possible. That allows everyone to feel as if they were hearing stories around a fire, just like they might have done in years gone by."

And what's coming up next?

"I have two new shows that I plan to launch before the summer, both of which I am working on now. And in the summer months, I'll be offering Innsbruck Story Walks, wandering around the city with visitors and telling tales about mountains and Tirol and more."
