Geschichtentheater: Die Welt der Sprachen. Vom Sammeln von Vokabeln und Grammatikregeln. erzählt von Maria Carmela Marinelli und Naemi Schmidt-Lauber

In the organizer's words:

The spider man Anansi wants to capture all the knowledge in the world in a pumpkin and keep it for himself: Cooking recipes, building instructions, formulas, but also vocabulary and grammar rules. Wilhelm von Humboldt also wanted to collect vocabulary and grammar rules. But he wanted to share them with as many people as possible. He was fascinated by different languages and learned more than 30 of them.

In two of these languages, Italian and German, Maria Carmela Marienlli and Naemi Schmidt-Laubner take their audience into the world of languages, experiment with sounds, word chains and animal languages, talk about Wilhelm von Humboldt and encourage us to preserve language as a valuable treasure.

Naemi Schmidt-Lauber studied acting in Innsbruck, Hamburg and New York. After 15 years in various theaters across Germany - including Hamburg, Göttingen, Münster and Jena - she moved to Berlin. She has performed at the Sophiensaele, the Theaterdiscounter and the HAU (Hebbel Am Ufer), conceived and realized plays and has also worked as a production manager since 2007.

She trained as a storyteller at the University of the Arts and has since performed in various contexts. Her clients include the Humboldt Forum, the Jewish Museum Berlin, the Museum für Völkerkunde / Japanisches Palais in Dresden, the International Literature Festival Berlin, the Labyrinth Children's Museum, Grashüpfer Berlin and Theater unterm Dach. She tells stories in Berlin schools and libraries and initiates storytelling projects, mostly in the context of cultural education with pupils. She also runs the inclusive theater group Die Grünen Bananen of berlinerSTARThilfe e.V., an association that supports people with disabilities.

Maria Carmela Marinelli is a storyteller, theater pedagogue (M.A.) and DaF/DaZ teacher (M.A.), trained at the Berlin University of the Arts and the Friedrich Schiller University Jena. She is involved in storytelling projects in Berlin and Saxony, performs at international storytelling festivals and runs training courses on tandem storytelling, multilingual storytelling and storytelling in the foreign language classroom at the University of Leipzig, Halle and Jena. She tells extremely lively, suggestive, full of humor, with exuberant temperament, in German, Italian, Spanish - and when language is no longer enough, with hands, feet and a big heart, until the air burns.
