John Berger, storyteller

“If I am a storyteller is because I listen. For me a storyteller is like a passer. Like someone who gets contraband across the frontier”.

“But, I mean, that is really the image of the storyteller. Not the novelist, not the fashionable literary creator, but the guy, often nomadic, who goes from place to place and tells stories that he has lived or that he's making up”.

“And that idea of a traveller, that idea of somebody who is completely free from institutions is something also which is contained for me in this term, storyteller. And which in all modesty I try to be myself”.

Nabigatzen, bapatean, ezagutzen ez nuen telebistarako egindako dokumental hau aurkitu dut sarean.

Eta lan hau ikusten nuen bitartean 2003an Livornon John Berger eta beste storyteller kementsuz osatutako koadrilla itzelarekin bizitako denborara jauzi egin dut. Livornoko portuan izan ginen Berger, Gianni Celati, Joaquín Jordá, Atxaga eta Antzerkiola Imaginarioaren "Mundopolski".... Bartzelonako OVNI bideo jaialdiko webgunean dago ikusgai Ixiar Rozas eta Dario Malventiren laguntzarekin egindako "Gezurren labirintoa" dokumentala.

So long, John.
