IN Tales & Tellersas the name itself suggests, the central theme of the project is the transfer and sharing of knowledge. Narration focused on the power of story and its ability to change the course of events, modify thoughts, transform opinions and introduce us to new worlds. A story that takes shape through individual stories told by multiple stories treasurer, the same directors, actresses and actors who bring the characters to life. Each joint project is represented by a hero or anti-hero taken from the works themselves, who in turn becomes the stage manager of the narrative. Accompanied by projections of the original film, professional actors reinterpret the characters and thus multiply the stories by physically bringing fragments of the story onto the stage parallel to the original. The Palais d’Iéna thus brings to the stage the real and fantastic everyday experiences of those who follow the stories and the public who will want to interact with them.
