The Arabian Nights: Night 12

March 25, 20217:30 p.m.
CORDOBA
Casa Árabe’s central courtyard (at Calle Samuel de los Santos Gener, 9). 7:30 p.m. 4 euros for the general public at the headquarters. 3 euros with online payment or other discounts.
In Spanish.

With the arrival of spring, The Thousand and One Nights returns to Casa Árabe's headquarters in Cordoba. Storyteller Héctor Urién will be visiting us on March 25 to offer us some of the stories from this literary classic, inspired by the "hidden treasures".

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, March 25 (Night 12), this concept will be the “hidden treasures.”

The show will be taking place on  Thursday, March 25 at 7:30 p.m., at the headquarters of Casa Árabe in Cordoba. Limited attendance. The decision to hold this activity in person will depend upon the health situation at the time. Thank you for your patience.
