What do you get when a storyteller, a musician, and a graphic artist squeeze their brains into a tiny rectangular space? You get The Kamishib’ys, of course!Kamishibai (Japanese for paper play) is a form of street theater and storytelling, where narrators set up a miniature wooden stage, revealing a series of colourful illustrations as the tales unfold. The Newfoundland version is The Kamishib’ys: performed by storyteller Dale Jarvis and musician and percussionist Jaehong Jin, with art byprintmaker Graham Blair. Sit down in front of their portable storytelling stage as they share a three-course feast of family-friendly fables:
The Mermaid Sisters of Beachy Cove, Open Open Green House, andThe Legend of Bennett's Cove
The Kamishib’ys: a blend of mid-century-inspired art, traditional Newfoundland
storytelling, and contemporary Korean folk music! Presented with support from ArtsNL.
