Seven Sages of Scotland
(Sat 22 July: 7pm)
What might we learn from medieval narratives about violence, gender, and truth-telling? This adaptation of the 15th-century collection The Seven Sages of Rome – stories of public accusations and the power of storytelling – investigates the cultural scripts that shaped medieval ideas of gendered power, with striking resemblance to our contemporary conversations.
By understanding the way communities in the past struggled with these questions, we may work toward a future with better stories, and perhaps simultaneously become better, more careful listeners. Presented by the University of St Andrews and featuring several excellent storytellers.
