The Grove of tales

An installation as part of the festival “a very different kind of summer”
Bad Hersfeld – city of stories

 

The Stiftspark will become a grove of tales: Enjoy a very different kind of summer underneath the trees and listen to a collection of tales and poems from all over the world. What can the trees tell us about humankind?
During the opening times – inspired by sounds and words – wooden figures appear little by little throughout the festival.
