The Conference of the Birds: A Story for Us

Go Local Highlands, Islands and Argyll

(Sat 28 Nov: 7:30pm)

Birds have a healthy disregard for borders, passports and visas. Like stories, they can travel where humans can’t so easily go. Join Muslim storyteller Jumana Moon and storyteller-musician Dawud Duncan, as they unlock the wisdom held in Farid al-Din Attar’s classical Farsi masterpiece, The Conference of the Birds, blending it with traditional Scottish music and masterful storytelling..

At The Rockfield Centre, Rockfield Rd, Taylor's Brae, Oban, PA34 5DQ.

This year’s Festival explores the rich relationship between storytelling and the natural world through our theme Bird and Beast. Alongside a vibrant programme at the Scottish Storytelling Centre in Edinburgh, storytellers across Scotland bring these tales to life this autumn through the Go Local programme. We proudly celebrate Scotland’s cèilidh tradition with an invitation into the story circle, extending a warm welcome to international guests who share their stories, traditions and contemporary practices alongside Scotland’s own world-class talent. Join us for some unforgettable tales and moments that bring us closer to nature, as we follow the trail of footprints and feathers and let our imagination take flight.
