Stepped street at the obelisk
None other than Zeus, father of the gods, commissioned Kirsten Stein himself, to summon the council of the gods to a special session in Olympus. An appropriate place, in order to be able to discuss unhindered by the hustle and bustle of everyday life and to be able to commute back and forth in time. Previously had penetrated, that Zeus' illegitimate son Hercules refuses, to serve King Eurystheus, as required by the succession to the throne. With anarchistic curiosity, he would rather turn to art, free from any rules.
That raises questions:
– Will Hercules fight for his freedom, completing twelve quests on the spot with his signature creativity and wit?
– What attitudes do the gods have on the subject of freedom?
– What is freedom anyway and what does it have to do with art and creativity?
– What attitudes do the gods have on the subject of freedom?
– What is freedom anyway and what does it have to do with art and creativity?
All of this must and will be discussed and acted upon in the plenum.

"Art is a daughter of freedom" and we give it a virtual stage.
The frequently quoted aphorism comes from Friedrich Schiller: “Art is a daughter of freedom, and of the necessity of spirits, it does not want to receive its prescription from the necessities of matter.”
The truth and clarity of this statement has changed over the past 200 years nothing changed. Art means freedom, because everything is allowed to be like this here, how it is. In art there is no wrong and no right, neither normal nor abnormal. Art is just what it is... times loud, sometimes quietly, sometimes calm and sometimes wild. Being creative and creating art makes you free.
As the great German poet, historian and philosopher wrote down the famous quote, he just saw light at the end of the tunnel after a desolate phase both economically and in terms of health – a condition, that many of us are going through right now.
We want to know about you, with which creativity you express yourself artistically and give yourself freedom. Tell us your story in the Story Camper and let us film you. Die Filme stellen wir auf der Facebook-Seite www.facebook.com/storycamperkassel/ und der Website www.story-camper.de on.

To person
Storytelling is an ancient profession, the one in a world, which is undergoing fundamental change, receives a great deal of attention again. For Kirsten Stein, this profession is also a vocation. The trained storyteller, Member of the European Fairy Tale Society and Member of the International Storytelling Network, has been dedicating her time since she was young, their energy and knowledge to storytelling. When you do something well and with passion, needs his focus.Kirsten Stein masters all tones, with which a voice can express itself and has the intuition, creative power, to offer orientation to people of all ages with their stories. That becomes particularly noticeable, when she leaves and begins her role as narrator, to converse with the characters in their stories and, despite some fairytale-like originals, never slipping into kitsch. The well-known and popular storyteller throughout Germany lives her stories, because for Kirsten Stein, storytelling is not a means to an end, sonern „Art for art’s sake“.
