Fertellendeweis
Right across the lush green Park Viversburg (despite having the worst heat wave in decades), 22 artists including the team leaders from different parts of the world got together at Yn’e Mande to rewrite and interpret the story of 170 refugees who travelled from Tiel to Tytsjerk. Tytsjerk is a village in the province of Friesland in the Netherlands. This happened in 1944 during the world war 2, and now there are very few mouths left to tell the stories about the hospitality extended by the people of Tytsjerk who welcomed the refugees with open hands to their homes. Since then many stories which have passed from one generation to another and many stories are yet to be unravelled.
Taking inspirations from the stories, The artists along with each other created works in form of Images, installations and performances. In the end it all came together as a beautiful poetry diminishing the line between stories and fables. They all became individual storytellers.
