The Round of Ogres and Ogresses Halima Hamdane
Once upon a time…
“A magical phrase that gathered all the children of the house around the grandmother. I have kept these treasures and all the emotions they awakened in the memory of my heart.” Halima, a Moroccan storyteller, perpetuates a family tradition. She draws from oral literature the majority of the stories she tells, in Arabic and French.

Young and old alike will be delighted by the voice, emotion and imagination of storyteller Halima Hamdane!
