The story

Algiers Storytelling Festival in Algiers

A festival in Algiers dedicated specifically to oral storytelling, giving a long-standing Algerian and Maghrebi cultural tradition a contemporary performance platform through folk tales, historical narratives and original modern stories drawn from the country's rich and layered mix of Arabic, Amazigh and wider Mediterranean oral heritage.

Oral storytelling holds a long-standing place in Algerian and broader Maghrebi culture, historically transmitted through generations as both entertainment and a vehicle for moral and historical instruction, and Algiers' storytelling festival gives this tradition a dedicated contemporary platform alongside the capital's many other genre-specific cultural festivals in film, theatre, music and dance.

01

The place changes

02

The mystery stays covered

Drawing on Algeria's layered Arabic, Amazigh and Mediterranean oral heritage rather than a single narrow source tradition gives the festival's storytelling content a genuinely varied cultural range across its program
