Scéalta /ʃcialˠta/ is a Gaelic word with a rich history. Thousands of years ago, Irish legends and stories were already being recited to audiences by the scéalaithe—the storytellers.

They traveled across Ireland, recording their experiences, interesting facts, and valuable knowledge to share with the common people. Even centuries later, storytelling remains a vital part of Irish culture and is still cherished today.

Four artists from different parts of Europe—from the Carpathians to Donegal Bay—have spent their lives telling stories through Irish music and dance. As fate would have it, Berlin became the setting for their creative work. Here, they wove their diverse experiences into a tapestry—with stories about home, travel, friendship, and love.

This is how Scéalta came to be—a quartet concert featuring modern scéalaithe (storytellers):

  • Patrizia Sieweck (fiddle & vocals)
  • Daniel O’Connor (guitar & vocals)
  • Nicole Ohnesorge (dance)
  • Gyula Glaser (dance)

Scéalta brings stories to life through rousing Irish folk songs and melodies, presented with a modern twist and staging, paired with captivating Irish tap dancing.
