Join Daiva Ivanauskaitė-Brown on a soaring journey into Lithuania. Blending folklore, family legacy, and history, this performance reveals the untold story of book-smugglers risking everything for their native tongue. Enhanced by UNESCO- honoured ancient polyphonic harmonies from Edinburgh’s Sutartinės singers, human voice and birdsong beautifully blur in an unforgettable celebration of resilience.

This year’s Festival explores the rich relationship between storytelling and the natural world through our theme Bird and Beast. Alongside a vibrant programme at the Scottish Storytelling Centre in Edinburgh, storytellers across Scotland bring these tales to life this autumn through the Go Local programme. We proudly celebrate Scotland’s cèilidh tradition with an invitation into the story circle, extending a warm welcome to international guests who share their stories, traditions and contemporary practices alongside Scotland’s own world-class talent. Join us for some unforgettable tales and moments that bring us closer to nature, as we follow the trail of footprints and feathers and let our imagination take flight.
