You’ll visit Italian islands, South African homelands, German bedrooms and Indian kitchens. You’ll meet medieval witches, bullies in Palestine, Canadian war heroes, talking capybaras and even giant frogs. Each story is astonishing, funny, haunting and impossible to forget.
The collection mirrors the incredible diversity of Mezrab’s stage in Amsterdam. Storytellers from all over the world have been gathering here to weave stories of joy and heartbreak, roots and dreams for more than twenty years.
