A medieval storyteller was called a Sprookspreker in Dutch, a fairytailer. He travelled around towns and villages to tell his stories at fairs for the people and at courts for the nobles. The modern Sprookspreker **also travels around. With his little case he wanders around to fantasy festivals and medieval events to tell his stories. For every story, there’s a different object in his case.
The Sprookspreker tells tales and legends from ancient times. He opens the gate to forgotten worlds, in which heroes depart on their quests. He carries a fairytale case, from which he presents all kinds of objects, that represent different stories.
Usually the Sprookspreker performs solo, but this Castlefest he will also share the stage with another storyteller: the Kletsprater. Together they bring ancient stories back to life.
The tales of the Sprookspreker are suitable for all ages and in Dutch. A tale takes about 30 minutes.
