Professional storyteller Héctor Urién is taking his show “Alf Leila wa
leila: The Arabian Nights: Night 2” to Casa Árabe’s headquarters in
Cordoba.
The Arabian Nights are like a long-lasting kiss that stretches on to keep from dying. To avoid being killed, Scheherazade tells a different story each night, leaving it without an ending until the next night. Professional storyteller Héctor Urién is taking this same narrative proposal to Cordoba, where the stories will gradually be given form through his voice, presence and gestures. And so he will continue to do one night after the next, with his magic, his eroticism, his laughter and his mysteriousness. A different tale will be told each night, and this is the first...
Casa Árabe is thereby joining this original, exciting project, in which women take on a notable role in the world of the arts. Through the on-stage storytelling by Héctor Urién, Scheherazade’s role as a orator will be brought back, and the role of many women appearing in The Arabian Nights will be highlighted.
Online ticket sales will end on Thursday at 2:30 p.m. As of that time, those tickets which have not been sold may be purchased at Casa Árabe’s headquarters in Cordoba (from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m.) at the price of 5 euros.
Héctor Urién (Madrid, 1977), a professional oral storyteller, is staging this innovative, original show based on the structure of Scheherazade’s story. As a professional storyteller, he performs his art and stage work at theaters in Spain and Latin America. Drawn by his curiosity and and a deeply ingrained scientific streak, Urién has developed his own ongoing storytelling workshop in Madrid, where students and teacher discover the inner workings of stories and the mystery of the oral narrative together. A narrator of short, direct stories, he has taken part in several national and international festivals and co-directs the yearly festival “Ávila de cuento.” In 2015, the publishing firm Palabras del Candil published his essay “La narración fractal: arte y ciencia de la oralidad” (“Fractal Narration: Art and science in orality”), in which he presents an innovative, surprising perspective of storytelling, with a foundation based on chaos theory and fractal geometry.
