A storyteller has taken center stage in the Al-Nofera district, captivating audiences with tales rooted in the rich cultural heritage of Damascus.
The performance, a celebration of traditional storytelling, aims to preserve and promote the art of hakawati – a practice deeply embedded in Syrian history. This form of entertainment, where a storyteller recounts epic narratives, historical events, and folklore, has long been a cornerstone of communal life in the Middle East.
The event provides a platform for sharing cultural narratives and fostering a sense of collective memory. Storytelling traditions like this are experiencing a revival as communities seek to reconnect with their heritage in a rapidly changing world.
