The Federation for European Storytelling (FEST) and Berättarnätet Öst (BNÖ) in Sweden are delighted to invite the international storytelling community to the 2026 FEST conference in Stockholm.

What if a story could take you across the world without leaving your seat?

Drawing on a lifetime of travel, Abbi Patrix weaves together folktales, myths, legends, personal memories, and unexpected encounters from his journeys around the globe.

Experience the Electrified Tale of “FAKE”
FAKE is a performance where the audience stroll around freely, wearing headphones that transmit a live musical backdrop. A loosely narrated version of Henrik Ibsen’s Peer Gynt constitutes the framework of this piece. Each participant can choose their own path, rhythm, and focal point within the set-up, as they drift constantly between reality and fiction.
