Storyteller will cheer Derbyshire grown-ups with tales from ancient Greece
Storyteller Amelia Ace Armande will toast the ancient Greek god of wine in her presentation for an adult audience in Derbyshire.
Ace will unstopper the life story of Dionysus, pouring out tales with a heady perfume, wild beauty and blood on their teeth, at the Imperial Rooms, Matlock on November 7.
On the side of a mountain in ancient Greece, a young girl is dancing. She is a sacred dancer to the gods, and life on the mountain is all she has ever known. But her story will take her far away from the sacred grove that is her home, and deep into the myth of Dionysus, god of wine, madness, queer love and transformation.
Ace began telling professionally with the Brighton Storytellers, and has told at the ‘Get A Word in Edgeways’ Spoken Word Festival, the Oxford Storytelling Festival, Beeston Tales and the Crick Crack Club.
Mandolin player Andreas will also entertain the audience during the evening which is organised by Matlock Storytelling Cafe.
Stories and music start at 7.30pm, doors open at 7pm. Soup, cakes, teas and coffees will be available from the kitchen. Ticket holders are invited to bring along a bottle.
Tickets cost £8 (live) and £6.50 (Zoom), available from https://buytickets.at/matlockstorytellingcafe/1899756
