    Stories by Katinka Kraft and music by Anke Wisch

    This show connects the autobiogaphical story with the traditional to bring forth that which is political, personal, and timeless, accompanied
    by violin and loop station.

    From fairy gateways to raven wisdom, these stories weave themselves through the cobblestone streets of 80's Berlin to the moss covered branches of the Pacific Northwest. As the tallest trees on earth hold each other steady underneath the ground, how does one find roots while being split between cultures, parents, and continents?

With a background in spoken word and creative writing, Katinka fuses poetic awareness of image, rhythm and sound with the connective quality and immediacy of oral storytelling.
