‘Dresden narrates…’ – Storytelling sessions for the whole family! 🌟

Yuliya Firsova cordially invites you to our storytelling sessions in the Open Gallery. Storytellers big and small meet here in a cosy and inspiring atmosphere to share their favourite fairy tales, myths and stories from around the world. 🌍📖

🎭 Start with the winter fairy tale: ‘The Mitten’ – an enchanting puppet theatre for the little ones!

A folk tale that is told in Ukraine and Russia, for example: An old man goes for a walk in the snowy winter forest. His glove falls out of his pocket, which he doesn’t notice at first. A mouse makes a warm home for itself in the lost mitten. But soon more and more animals move in until the owner of the mitten goes in search of his lost treasure… 🐭❄️

✨ Why you should be there

The performance is perfectly tailored to the needs of children:

✓ Storytelling pace: slow and sensitive so that all little listeners can follow.
✓ Simple language: Short sentences and a reduced plot ensure that even the youngest children (under 3 years) are not overwhelmed.
✓ Performance time: Only approx. 10-15 minutes – ideal for small attention spans!

🌈 Discover the world of stories!

Each event is dedicated to a specific country or region. Let local storytellers take you on a journey and discover new perspectives and cultural treasures together!

Come along, bring your cosy blankets and enjoy a special moment full of imagination and joy with your children! 🥰✨

We look forward to seeing lots of smiling faces and shining eyes! 👀❤️
