How We Tell Stories: Epic Poems and Mythology
We explore the epic poems, The Aeneid, The Shanameh and The Odyssey, and their relevance today.
Delve into the narrative of these epics as we investigate why and how these stories are compelling in their contemporary renditions, as well as how oral storytelling traditions have shaped how we interpret them.
Featuring interviews with Josephine Burton, Dash Arts Artistic director; Kurdish Iranian musician Marouf Majidi; director and former Dash Arts artistic director Tim Supple; writer and lecturer Tajinder Hayer; writer and performer Tristan Bernays; and storyteller Clare Murphy.
