Beyond words: A real journey through time
The Moroccan tradition of hikayat, traditional oral storytelling, dates back nearly 1,000 years. Some stories have been recorded while others have been passed down orally. Today this form of entertainment risks becoming extinct. Previously, hikayat could be found in all the cities of Morocco, but today the Jemaa el-Fnaa Square in Marrakech is one of the last places to find and hear these ancient stories. And unfortunately, there continue to be fewer and fewer storytellers left.
Riad Alkemia seeks to contribute to the preservation of this thousand-year-old tradition, offering the possibility of hosting an authentic storyteller capable of enchanting adults and children alike with their epic tales. An incredible experience and memory to hold on to!
