About this Event

Part of the Scottish International Storytelling Festival.

German Storyteller Suse Weisse takes us on a journey through the intersections of folklore and the natural world.

During seasonal festivals, this mystical and natural come close, and as the northern winter begins, Weisse's stories explore how trees, plants, and herbs can bring both light, and dark.

With German storyteller Suse Weisse and in association with Goethe-Institut.  

Recommended for adults and older children, aged 12 plus.

About the storyteller  

Since 2000, Suse Weisse has been a freelance storyteller for adults and children. Her love of the German language is always at the core of her creative work.
