How to Bring About a Peaceful Revolution?
with visiting guests from Germany
(Wed 30 Oct: 5:30pm)
“We had planned for everything. We were prepared for everything. Just not for candles and prayers.” - A senior communist functionary after the fall of the Berlin Wall 35 years ago.
The ossified Stasi power apparatus was overpowered by peaceful means in East Germany. Music, caricatures and satirical slogans played a special role as weapons. This hybrid performance presented in film and on stage is hosted by Horst Edler.

2024 marks the 35th anniversary of the Scottish International Storytelling Festival, coinciding with the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Since 1989, SISF has been building bridges between cultures, artists and audiences all over the world through the power of storytelling – connecting past, present and future. This year’s theme is ‘Bridges Between’. At a time where literal, figurative and societal walls continue to be constructed, we invite everyone to look beyond these boundaries and to celebrate the last and the next 35 years of storytelling with us.
