In the Making
(Wed 30 Oct: 2pm)
A fable about a young music creator who escapes an authoritarian city and embarks on a transformative journey towards freedom. This coming-of-age story is conveyed through spoken word, music and movement in the spirit of the Griot storytelling traditions from West Africa. Created and performed by French-Cameroonian artist Fay Guiffo.
An ‘In the Making’ work in progress sharing, followed by brief discussion. Supported by Culture Edinburgh, Help Musicians and Hope Scott Trust.

2024 marks the 35th anniversary of the Scottish International Storytelling Festival, coinciding with the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Since 1989, SISF has been building bridges between cultures, artists and audiences all over the world through the power of storytelling – connecting past, present and future. This year’s theme is ‘Bridges Between’. At a time where literal, figurative and societal walls continue to be constructed, we invite everyone to look beyond these boundaries and to celebrate the last and the next 35 years of storytelling with us.
