    • Silk Purse Arts Centre, 1570 Argyle Ave.


    Experience the magic of live storytelling, the oldest form of the arts. 

    Join longtime professional & emerging tellers for a Cric?-Crac! of fabulous stories around the hearth....from epic world tales to personal narratives, poetry& music.

    Cric? Crac! happens the first Sunday of the month, based around a unique theme each session. 

    April is Behold the Light! Stories of Hildegard of Bingen, Luminous 12th Century Mystic.

    Margaret Murphy & Leah Hokanson are thrilled to be celebrating Behold the Light! Stories of Hildegard of Bingen, Luminous 12th Century Mystic. Hildegard is largely known through her remarkable accomplishments: as theologian, writer, musician, poet, public speaker, composer, dramatist, visual artist, healer, hospice worker, linguist & abbess of three religious communities. Our story celebrates a new perspective: exploring who the woman is, diving into her thoughts & feelings as she faces remarkable challenges, & honouring her ability to be fiercely steadfast in proclaiming her Truth. To enhance the experience, Leah Hokanson provides beautiful music & exquisite singing woven throughout the stories.

    Behold the Light! is indeed a celebration of the courage, resilience & deep faith of Hildegard. Her message is beautifully clear: Take back your own Listening, Use your own voice & Behold your own Light. Please come & join the celebration.

    Presented with the North Shore Tellers since 2000.

    Admission by donation. Suggested $15 - $20.
