Episode 9: Why We Tell Stories with Martina Pisciali

Our first guest on House of Legends is Martina Pisciali, a young storyteller from Italy whom I was fortunate enough to work with at Storyfest in Singapore. 

Martina is a regular performer at Raccontaminuastoria, the International Storytelling Festival of Rome, as well as at international festivals in Sharjah and Bolzano. She is the apprentice of the highly-regarded storytellers Paola Balbi and Davide Bardi and a translator of bilingual performances. Martina's repertoire consists of Greek and Roman myths and global folktales, with a focus on the Middle East and the Mediterranean.
