São Paulo – The story of Habiba, a girl that reads tales in magic rugs, will be told next Tuesday (27) at Sesc Santo André (the Santo André branch of the Social Service of Commerce), Greater São Paulo. The storytelling takes place from 4 pm to 5 pm and is free of charge.
The artist responsible for the show, Cris Guerra, is of Lebanese descent. She performs storytelling to kids with puppet shows. Guerra also signs the storyline, with the main character, Habiba, telling stories that are part of the Arab tradition.
From a rug, Habiba reads such stories as the one of prince Ádil, who needs to face a lion, of aunt Khalil and of the boy that starts to see ghosts after lying many times about them.
One of the inspirations for the artistic work of Cris Guerra comes from her paternal grandfather, who used to call her Habiba and liked to dance in a funny way. The actress also sings, dances and plays the accordion.
