  • Naceur  grew up in an Algerian nomadic family. There he collected his oral repertoire of exciting and thought-provoking wisdom stories, which his mother and grandmother told him in the nomad tent and which he still guards like a treasure today.

  • Not only fairy tales from 1001 Nights belong to his repertoire, but also travel anecdotes, sayings of wisdom, the experiences of Nasreddin Hodja, exciting and peculiar experiences of special creatures of God, quirky characters or completely normal people.

  • Pirolina Rabenschön, winner of the 2013 "Golden Spindle" Fairy Tale Award, tells stories from five centuries and many countries. Wondrous, sad, instructive and  comical stories can be heard. For children and adults!
