The tales found in “The Arabian Nights” will be returning to our Cordoba headquarters on Thursday, February 17, with storyteller Héctor Urién. During this session, his stories will be inspired by “magical words.” Tickets are now being sold online.

The Arabian Nights are like a long-lasting kiss that stretches on to keep from dying. And by emulating Scheherazade in Madrid, Héctor Urién, a professional storyteller, will choose a different story each month at Casa Árabe, from the fictional universe created in The Arabian Nights. With a contemporary sensitivity supported only by his voice, presence and discourse, he uses his art as a storyteller to take us on a journey from a Baghdad souk to the cave where a genie lives, from the islands of the Indian Ocean to the domains of the Serpent Queen.

At each session, Héctor Urién uses a single term as a narrative thread which plays the role of the original “Open Sesame” to tell us in his own voice some of the stories from The Arabian Nights related with that term. On Thursday, February 17 (Night 19), the stars of the show will be “magical and secret words.” Secret words are sometimes like passwords, and at others they are like revelations which act as springboards within a story. Tonight, Héctor Urién will be weaving tales whose central idea revolves around these types of words.
