Scott and Johanna Hongell-Darsee

Storytelling Theater with Live Music

Stories from Far Away Islands, Deep Forests and Magical Gardens.

A magic rosemary plant, an old hag who steals the sun and the moon, the first singer of stories, sea-ladies, dragons, air daughters …

These are some of the characters you will meet in our performances. We tell these folktales, myths and ballads with words, movement, masks, song and music.

Johanna Hongell-Darsee; storyteller, dancer, mime; and Scott Darsee, guitarist, composer, take you on a journey of Ballads and Runes, Myths and Legends with traditional and non-traditional storytelling techniques. The art of storytelling is universal and as ancient as humanity; our dreams of a distant common past. Stories travel and have always traveled. On their way they pick up bits and pieces of different cultures and landscapes but the heroes and heroines, the villains and the mysterious creatures often stay familiar.

We tell stories using music, song, masks, dance and mime. We will tailor our performance to your audience regarding age and interests.
