This performance event brings together stories gleaned by internationally-acclaimed storyteller Abbi Patrix during a whole life spent travelling.
Tales, legends, myths, anecdotes, intimate memories fill pages of his travel diary, day after day. Here, he simply offers to share his taste and love for these stories ; to take us away to an unlikely dream world, to an impossible reality. To cross the planet by means of stories.
Balanced between written material and oral improvisation, Journeys in Place is lead by associations, by moods, by the atmosphere. Abbi Patrix unfurls his stories, giving them a new context each time, always in the present instant, always interacting with the audience, bringing the diversity of his repertoire to our ears.
Abbi Patrix is a French-Norwegian storyteller living in France. He has been exploring the art of storytelling for the past thirty years, and he continues today, treading the path on a search for continual development. His work is at the cross-roads of theatre, music and movement, enriched by multi-disciplinary material, on a permanent quest for new ways and voices to enrich the form of storytelling: an art which is developing today with great impetus in many different places in France and abroad. In his productions, Abbi Patrix uses both personal and contemporary forms, which he constructs using different sources: traditional stories, life stories, diaries, his own memories and literary texts. Music with storytelling is his favorite field of work.
This event is being put on here as part of Holding the Tail of the Wolf by the Anima Mundi School of Storytelling, which says: “This is a beautiful and immersive new four module training programme for storytellers, performers, artists, and educators, and anyone who longs for deeper connection to the wild world, to Mystery, and to the stories that are hungry to be told. Led by Chris Salisbury and Jo Blake, with support from Mirel Stambuk and WildWise. See wildwise.co.uk or jo-blake.co.uk for more details.”
