SYRIA-CULTURE-LITERATURE-STORYTELLING
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY DOMINIQUE SOGUEL
Syrian families gather at a Ramadan tent in Damascus on August 25, 2010 to listen to stories recounted by famous local Hakawati - Arabic for storyteller - Rashid Hallak (L), during an evening organised by the Spanish cultural centre in Syria. When Hallak, also known as Abu Shadi, was a child, all the coffee shops in Damascus had storytellers, or hakawatis and now he is the only one in Syria to carry forth this art, reciting tales of great Arab kings late into the night.
