The Experience – ALWAYS BURNING

The Story Begins

_{Hundred thousands years ago humans discovered fire. Hunter gatherers during the day, we suddenly gained additional hours of light. Out of all possible ways we could spend these extra hours of day, we decided to spent them sitting around the fire telling each other stories – to create memories, to unleash imagination, to share moments together.}

_{To celebrate this cultural heritage we unite once more, inviting lots of international storytellers with broad cultural backgrounds, to tell a story within five minutes. On average 15-20 storytellers perform on an evening and 150-170 audience members attend.}

_{Storytelling is deeply rooted in our DNA. Stories bring life, add meaning to human existence, and move us. Eat your heart out.}

What to Expect

_{Welcome to our world; a space for creation, deepening, imagination, inspiration, and exploring.}

_{Our storytellers, artists, and cultural entrepreneurs make each event, together with you, a unique experience.}

_{Expect an evening filled with live presented stories and plenty of surprises as the international storytellers of Aarhus take the stage. We immerse you in words, music, theatre, and zest for life. One-by-one, each storyteller shares a story within five minutes. Poets, performers, writers, actors, comedians, musicians, chatterboxes, sweet-talkers, and teachers of the literary and performance arts; a palette of unique and authentic performances working across genres. A story can be true or made up. It can be scary, funny, or moving. Spoken, rapped, whispered, sung, or danced. Grand, compelling, colourful, cozy, and everything in between.}
