With the IMAGINE! festival, Erzählraum e.V. brought the ancient tradition of oral storytelling to Chemnitz. Under the motto ‘Mapping The Invisible’, participants set off into the unknown, discovering new hidden stories and opening up new perspectives on our world. IMAGINE! in Chemnitz was not just a festival, but an invitation to reflect on the present and actively shape the future by sharing stories. The programme consisted not only of storytelling performances, but also workshops, performances, interactive performances and open storytelling sessions.
