Marrakech is the heart and lifeblood of Morocco's ancient
storytelling tradition. For nearly a thousand years, storytellers
have gathered in the Jemaa el Fna, the legendary square of the
city, to recount ancient folktales and fables to rapt audiences.
But this unique chain of oral tradition that has passed seamlessly
from generation to generation is teetering on the brink of
extinction. The competing distractions of television, movies and
the internet have drawn the crowds away from the storytellers and
few have the desire to learn the stories and continue their legacy.
Richard Hamilton has witnessed at first hand the death throes of
this rich and captivating tradition and, in the labyrinth of the
Marrakech medina, has tracked down the last few remaining
storytellers, recording stories that are replete with the mysteries
and beauty of the Maghreb.
