Which of them can be spotted in the parks and squares of Ochota? Which ones sneak through the empty streets at night? Is it true that wild parrots live in a certain tree, that there’s a place where parrots roam freely, porcupines dwell, kangaroos jump, and tigers lurk? Do you know which park is home to a pink dog? Is all of this real, or just a story?
Stories from OKOlicy will be told by members of Group 501: Mirella Gliwińska, Aleksandra Pronobis-Polatyńska, and Adam Markuszewski.
***
Stories from OKOlicy is a series of meetings prepared by the Storytellers of Group 501. Who are the storytellers? They are people who tell stories, fairy tales, and legends – and all of their tales are deeply rooted in our neighborhood, Ochota, and Warsaw.
Meetings with the Storytellers are not performances – they are journeys through time and space, where we can discover the legends and stories of our district. Sitting on comfortable cushions, in a warm, intimate atmosphere, with gentle music playing in the background, everyone can feel the magic of storytelling. It’s a moment of relaxation and shared discovery for the whole family.
