Soubia

Myths and folk tales are based on scaring children and directing messages that make them always listen to the voice of the mother or grandmother, which keeps them from being adventurous because adventures will bring them suffering and trouble, even if they may often be full of pleasure, useful experiences and magic. The project will deconstruct and analyse these stories, study how they are used in Egypt and Tunisia today, and examine how myth and folk tales travel from one place to another and affect the collective consciousness across the ages.
