Of Stars, Bears and the Beginning of Time
SISF BSL Interpreted Event
(Wed 22 Oct: 6pm)
A mythical journey through the celestial origin stories of the Fenno-Baltic tradition, told by Finnish-born storyteller Riikka Palonen, accompanied by folk musician Richard Clarke. Modern science tells us we were born from stardust, but how did the ancient people in the north know that? Elemental tales like these remind us that we share this planet, alongside bears, cranes and wolves, but who told the first stories?
This performance will be interpreted in British Sign Language.

The Scottish International Storytelling Festival 2025 tracks a rich northern arc which bridges Finland to Iceland, and connects Germany to Norway, with Scotland a sea road junction in the middle. Don’t miss out on the tales and music or the close experience of nature. As winter gathers round the hearth fires, look north to join the merry dancers in the sky!
