Artistic storytelling for adults
On this evening, the fascinating places of Brittany, Provence, Camargue and Paris are travelled through in ninety minutes. The French-German storyteller Odile Néri-Kaiser makes it possible on a fabulous tour de France. With charming ease and perfect sense of direction, she whisks the audience away to remote corners of France and enchants them with lore and myths as well as stories from the here and now. Andreas Zöllner will be her expert travelling companion with his guitar. An evening for all those who enjoy travelling and sitting comfortably.
"It's a special treat, even for people who don't speak French, when she switches from German to French without ever interrupting the narrative flow. "
