Mother Tongue and Cultural Identity
on Wednesday, 22 April at 7 p.m.
Leopold Museum
Museumsquartier
1070 Vienna
A multimedia performance of the Tale „Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves,‰
featuring the Elevenchor of the Vienna Boys‚ Choir, will be introduced by
explanatory remarks and followed by a reception.
„Talespin‰ was inspired by the English notion of „spinning a tale‰ and
combines traditional folk tales from around the world with original music
and art in live performances. „Talespin‰ enjoys discovering and
„Talespinning‰ stories from all over the world. Stories are reflections of
the hopes and values of every culture and reveal human characteristics
shared by all. For more information, please see www.talespin.eu
The „Mother Tongue and Cultural Identity‰ project encourages students aged 10-18 to submit an original work of art (music, performance, literature, or fine art) that expresses the author‚s mother tongue and cultural identity.
The project will culminate in a Gala event in February 2010 and is
organized by „Talespin‰ in cooperation with UNIS Vienna, the Vienna School Board (Stadtschulrat), the Vienna International School, and with the
support of the City of Vienna, the U.S. Embassy Vienna, and Leopold Museum.
Please register your participation to the kick-off event by Tuesday, 21
April by contacting Ms. Elisabeth Waechter, Chief Visitors Service, United
Nations Information Service Vienna, at elisabeth.waechter@unvienna.org.
