Water and fairy tales have a lot in common! They flow all over the world without knowing borders, quench their thirst and cool off, bring memories of the places they passed and hold within them a calm power that can change the world. As water waters the earth to bloom, so do fairy tales water our imagination, and if, as they say, we humans are made of water, how much more, I will say, we are made of stories! I will share with you gargled stories, folktales from around the world that answer the big questions: who makes the rain? what power does the river have? And who, after all, owns the water?

Eleana Hatzaki is a storyteller and graduate philologist specializing in Literature for children and young people. She has studied acting in theater workshops, voice and kinesiology.
