A moi, conte deux mots !

A festival dedicated to the art of storytelling in Ardèche

Led by the association Autour du Conte, the "A moi, conte deux mots !" festival has established itself as an unmissable event for lovers of spoken word and narrative in Ardèche. Every spring, the town of Privas welcomes storytellers from all over to share stories, legends, and tales from around the world in a resolutely intercultural approach.

A rich and varied program

The festival offers an eclectic program combining:

• Storytelling shows by renowned professional artists
• Open stages allowing everyone to take the floor
• Storytelling aperitifs in a friendly atmosphere
• Workshops and meetings around oral literature

The festival notably collaborates with the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) as part of an ethnographic field internship on "Oral literature and body techniques," thus reinforcing the scientific and heritage dimension of the event.

An invitation to travel and discovery

In an intercultural approach, the festival is an invitation to travel and discover the collective memory of here and elsewhere. The stories cross borders, mixing Ardèche traditions, African tales, Eastern legends, and contemporary stories. The festival is aimed at all audiences, from the youngest to the oldest, in a spirit of sharing and transmission.

In the heart of Privas

The festival takes place on the Place du Champ de Mars and in various locations in the town of Privas, prefecture of Ardèche. The storyteller Anne Hengy, founder of the association and based in Ardèche since 1998, leads this festival with passion and energy, opening imaginations to the magic of the spoken word.
