The story within the story

Ten years ago, on an autumn Saturday, I entered a bookshop to kill time waiting for the train and I found the book El sembrador de oro y otros cuentos del Tíbet, from Iñaki Preciado. Thanks to this book I discovered the stories told by a wondrous corpse, a wonderful frame tale, in the style of Arabian Nights, very well know in the Tibetan culture. The book contained some of the folktales told by the corpse, but without revealing the end of the frame tale. I could not help but searching the end of that story. Little by little, the search became the storytelling session ...

Discoveries

August is about to end, and I have not finished yet my Latvian and Greek chronicles, I am afraid I’ve been abducted by the summer holiday rhythm. But I have a surprise for you: homonarrans. A website I had the pleasure to collaborate, a real homage to storytelling in all forms, an idea dreamed and created by José Manuel de Prada-Samper, Helena Cuesta and Ignasi Potrony, with whom it is a pleasure to share stories, projects and discoveries. I won’t say more and leave to you the pleasure to discover this website by yourselves. You can browse it in English, ...

This year, in order to prepare the participation of ANIN (Associació de Narradores i Narradors) in the FEST Annual Conference, the FEST Team from ANIN (composed by Patricia McGill, Sophie Heydel and myself) wanted to spread and highlight more the FEST to all ANIN members.

Day of Music with the Family
19/06/2015 - blog
I’ve always liked to add songs, rhythms and all kind of noises to stories. I think it’s something that runs in the family, and I am glad I can’t help it. On Sunday 28th June, in the afternoon, I will have the perfect excuse for this. Within the Pedralbes Music Festival they organize the «Day of Music with the Family», and the gardens of Pedralbes Palace will be full of activities and workshops related to music, so that little ones, middle ones and big ones will enjoy music together. You will find me there, in the bamboo forest, where we’ll tell, sing and dance stories ...
