[Adults] [Online] 398.2 Storytelling Festival 2022: Detours and Disaster

About the Programme/ Event

Theme: Detours and Disasters

Thrilling tales of how ordinary people faced extraordinary situations because they either took a detour or survived a disaster. Listen to their stories from the other side. Meet a young man who saved a princess, another one who met a beautiful spirit because he took a wrong turn and yet another who stayed married to prevent disaster from striking his home. If that’s not exciting enough, listen to the recounting of how Ah Mui and her family survived the Japanese invasion of Singapore and how one of our storytellers jumped off a cliff because of a detour. Enjoy these stories for ages 16 years and up.

Please note that this programme will be livestreamed from an onsite programme at library@harbourfront programme zone. There will not be any storyteller conducting the programme on Zoom.

This storytelling is targeted towards adults. Children are not encouraged to attend due to mature themes.
