In the organizer's words:

How can we cheat death? Is there a double standard between the lifespan of humans and animals? Who helps the brave girl Wassilissa when her stepsisters send her to the man-eater Baba Jaga? Death, the last secret of life, is the protagonist of many stories. The storytellers Valentina Dann and Silvia Freund bring them to the stage in Russian and German for the Story Theater."

Silvia Freund was born in Tyrol/Austria. She studied acting (stage maturity examination), singing, German and Romance studies in Innsbruck and graduated with a Master's degree. She then completed her Master of Art in Theater Pedagogy at the UdK Berlin. Freund toured with dance theaters and independent ensembles in Europe and New York, performed in scenic concerts with Transalpin and was involved in CD productions by WirKindervomKleistpark . She has been a lecturer in storytelling with adults/young people and children's projects since 1997. The further training courses take place in cooperation with theaters, universities and adult education centers (Theatertreffen der Jugend, UdK Berlin, Staatstheater Hannover) or with independent sponsors (e.g. Verein ErzählKunst e.V.). Silvia Freund has been a storyteller in the senate-funded project ErzählZeit for elementary school and daycare centers since 2008 and has been a certified storyteller of the VEE (Verband der ErzählerInnen e.V.) since 2017. She also supervises musical literature programs for children with the reading agency Eventilator and is part of multilingual and interdisciplinary storytelling tandems.

Valentina Dann is a freelance storyteller. She was born in 1973 near Omsk (Western Siberia) and has lived in Berlin since October 1995. She completed her master's degree in library science and Slavic studies (with Bulgarian as a second foreign language) at the Humboldt University in Berlin in 2010. She then attended the certificate course "Artistic Storytelling - Storytelling in Art and Education" at the Berlin Career College of the Berlin University of the Arts and successfully completed it in 2014.

Valentina Dann grew up multilingual with German, Russian-German, Russian and Ukrainian, expanded her language skills with English, Bulgarian and Georgian and now tells fairy tales and stories freely in Russian and German - with a touch of the languages she has learned.
