  • Master storyteller Ahmed Ezzarghani and apprentice Sara are fighting to keep the Moroccan storytelling tradition alive.
    Oral storytelling has been an integral part of Moroccan culture for over a thousand years. But now the precious art form is disappearing, due to the availability of new forms of entertainment through modern technology.
    Hajj Ahmed Ezzarghani has been telling stories for over five decades. Now in his 70s, the master storyteller has retired from the chaos of Marrakech's famous square, Jemaa el-Fna. He finds new purpose in teaching young apprentices the skills of the ancient art form.
    Novice storyteller, Sara Mouhyeddine, dreams of eventually performing in Jemaa el-Fna but soon realises it might be easier said than done in a space traditionally dominated by male performers.
    To stand a chance at being able to publicly showcase her skills, Sara must win the approval of Hajj.
    As one of a handful of storytellers left in Morocco, Hajj knows it is now up to Sara's generation to save these precious stories, passed down through generations, before it is too late.

    What a wonderful story about the need for and the art of story telling. It is almost a forgotten art. That direct person to person communication in a theatrical sense is so immediate. After all story telling is the oldest art form.

    It's a beautiful thing, the heart & telling stories to those who wish to listen. It's history at it's best. People drinking tea & interacting rather than shutting themselves away & no talking!!! But I love my solace & my iPad/iPhone etc., So we need all these things, multi cultural life's, it's great & I love it x 🌍 X

      No Story telling is changing itself to keep up with modern times and so even In India we have many new performers coming in for story telling.
