- Master storyteller Ahmed Ezzarghani and apprentice Sara are fighting to keep the Moroccan storytelling tradition alive.
Oral storytelling has been an integral part of Moroccan culture for over a thousand years. But now the precious art form is disappearing, due to the availability of new forms of entertainment through modern technology.
Hajj Ahmed Ezzarghani has been telling stories for over five decades. Now in his 70s, the master storyteller has retired from the chaos of Marrakech's famous square, Jemaa el-Fna. He finds new purpose in teaching young apprentices the skills of the ancient art form.
Novice storyteller, Sara Mouhyeddine, dreams of eventually performing in Jemaa el-Fna but soon realises it might be easier said than done in a space traditionally dominated by male performers.
To stand a chance at being able to publicly showcase her skills, Sara must win the approval of Hajj.
As one of a handful of storytellers left in Morocco, Hajj knows it is now up to Sara's generation to save these precious stories, passed down through generations, before it is too late.

Am so happy and so much thankful to be his grandson! Haj ahmed my grandpa ❤️❤️
its a beautiful tradition which should be kept alive
I miss you grandpa very much
Rest in peace ❤️🤲🏼
What a wonderful story about the need for and the art of story telling. It is almost a forgotten art. That direct person to person communication in a theatrical sense is so immediate. After all story telling is the oldest art form.
Great work guys..keep it up..try to start a website where you can advertise for your stories in Arabic, French and English..you will get a better audience with foreign languages..Best of luck
This is amazing. They've tried their best to make stories alive again. And woman can also perform in this famous square and got respect. So happy their performance was successful.
Great job, proud of you guys...
I am so touched by it! To revive the over 1000 years tradition, with courage, passion and love! I believe there are still a lot of people like me would love to around the real people to have the real experience!
Storytelling beats all! Let's hope it continues as a tradition and art for all ages and times!
I love the storytellers, how can i get in contact with Ahmed Ezzarghani? I have a workshop storytellers in Marrakech and he is the perfect man for this. Let's hope this will last forever.
thank you.a beautiful story needs to continue to be told.
It's a beautiful thing, the heart & telling stories to those who wish to listen. It's history at it's best. People drinking tea & interacting rather than shutting themselves away & no talking!!! But I love my solace & my iPad/iPhone etc., So we need all these things, multi cultural life's, it's great & I love it x 🌍 X
