Village Storytelling Centre / Devil's Violin VSF16: Forbidden Door

What would you sacrifice for the one you love?

Welcome to a cinema of the mind - with their visceral combination of live music and dynamic storytelling, The Devil’s Violin weaves an enchantment of melody and mystery. Don't open that door!

As soon as the rule is laid down, we know it will be broken. Once the door is opened, then what adventures! All of us love a good tale, and this is a wonderful one. Expect love, loss, drama, danger, horror, humour, twists and trials. How far is too far?

The Devil's Violin has been breathing new life into the ancient art of storytelling since 2006. For this tour of The Forbidden Door, virtuoso musicians Sarah Moody, Oliver-Wilson Dickson and Dylan Fowler are joined by storyteller and spoken word performer Dominic Kelly who is a regular on the storytelling scene across Europe and curates Lancaster’s popular Lit Fest. This talented ensemble weaves together a hypnotic, mesmerising, aural tapestry of sound, poetry and folk/roots music that appeals to all ages and cultures.

The Devils Violin are Daniel Morden (Storyteller) Sarah Moody (Cello), Dylan Fowler (Guitar) and Oliver Wilson-Dickson (Violin) and are joined by Dominic Kelly (Storyteller) for this show.

"A scintillating combination of music, sound and story." The Times
"This is masterful, theatrical storytelling delivered with great feeling for the dramatic pause, the dark imagery evoking all shades of emotion from horror to joy, while the songs and stories continue to resonate deeply in the bones of the listener long afterwards." Venue Magazine
