A sell-out hit at Edinburgh Fringe 2023 returns for the Scottish International Storytelling Festival! Arty is a day-dreaming, inquisitive young polar bear who was born in Scotland but longs to see the world. When he inadvertently ends up on a voyage far from home, Arty discovers more than he bargained for...
This moving spoken-word show from critically acclaimed collective Stuart Kenny (poet), Grant Robertson (musician/composer), Lottie Whittingham (musician) and Lewis Gillies (illustrator), takes the audience on a rip-roaring adventure across heather, hill, ocean and snow.

Join us as we explore, question and celebrate the Right To Be Human. This year, on the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we consider the many challenges we face, from human health and wellbeing to the health and future of our planet. However, there is also a worldwide movement to meet these challenges, and to exist imaginatively, fairly and in community with the whole diversity of life. Storytelling has embraced these values from the dawn of culture and stories today can help us be more connected to the world around us, as well as our rights, showing us how to be more alive and creative as humans.
