This show has been created through the Artistic Residence of the European Project Network of Storytelling sites and towns (ENSST), which was held in the medieval town of Sigüenza from 25 May to 9 June. Europe is made up of many stories that build us, join us and bring us together. Our tales, our legends, the images of our poetic fables are the geography of our imagination.
From autumn onwards, this show born in the ENSST project will be performed in the environment of the partners working in this European initiative, France, Italy and Slovakia.
