From Jordan with Love
(Thu 30 Nov: 7:30pm)
The Levant is a region rich in hospitality, history, flavours, fragrances, stories and culture. Scottish storytellers Dougie Mackay and Janis Mackay return from Jordan with love and tales to tell, reflecting upon their shared experience of the ‘Mujawara’ sharing with storytellers from across the Arab world.
Conjuring tales of Djinn, giants and wise women telling tales so they may live, come on a journey through bustling alleys, lined with sacks of hibiscus, zaatar and frankincense, hear the call to prayer under clear skies and crescent moon or shade from the midday heat in ancient mountain temples. A live musical soundscape is brought by Moroccan Gnawa music from Omar Afif.
This event is partly to raise funds and awareness for emergency aid to Gaza run by Sunbula, a charity supporting poverty reduction and social justice in Palestine. There will be opportunities for cash donation on the night or you can donate directly via the button below.
