Line-up
Fernando Rodil – Pampa’s Pride
Before leaving his home country, Fer wrote a movie. A Pirates of the Caribbean in a local criollo style, he is convinced that it deserves the big screen. He decided to put on a one-hour show to tell the plot to anyone willing to listen. Knowing him, it is very likely that he will take advantage of the situation to air snippets of his private life and also reflect on what it means to be an Argentine living abroad.
Ashley Ramsden – Rumi, One Light
A Celebration of his Life, Poetry and Stories with storyteller Ashley Ramsden. 750 years ago, the great teacher Jelaluddin Rumi stepped out of this world. He left behind a trail of light that continues to unite people of all beliefs: “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there”. Come celebrate the enlightened wisdom and vision of a man who saw in his own time of darkness how the lamps may be different but the light the same. Ashley Ramsden is the founder of the School of Storytelling (UK) and has performed all over the world. Ramsden’s telling of Dickens’ Christmas Carol is a festive favourite in The Hague for almost 20 years.
