A traditional storytelling evening is not just about the story, it’s also about the listeners, explains Ben Allal: “The most important lesson the Master Storyteller taught me about telling a story is how to make the audience smile at the end of it.” It is both about the lesson and the experience. Because Moroccan storytelling developed as both a form of entertainment and a way for elders to teach their children, it’s an intimate affair. Whether at the large Djemaa el-Fna or in a café, listeners huddle close around the storyteller to catch every word and gesture. Add a Tale to your Travels

Young apprentices are learning from Master Storytellers and plying their craft at local establishments and through cultural programs. Master Storytellers spend decades collecting stories, fine-tuning their craft and performing at squares around Morocco. When people re-tell sex jokes, they might replace “uncomfortable” words with their French equivalents or with gestures and allusions such as “You know…”, “Just imagine the rest!” or “thingie.” When this taboo is broken and the actual words of the joke are spoken aloud, this means that the narrator and their listeners have reached a kind of intimacy in their relationship. They might repeat before any joke of this type: “I’ve seen you fail!” Our approach to language learning is a communicative approach where our experienced teachers take you through not only the rules of the language (grammar, structure, syntax) but also communicative habits (e.g. how to greet someone).

What’s more, politicians in Morocco take their political duties much too seriously and convey through their media appearances the image of the “seasoned and rational politician” who speaks in a high register, in educated language that is too elevated for humor and ribbing, even further distancing them from the real world. A few months ago, the press spread a picture of a number of ministers convulsing with laughter during a meeting organized by Noureddine Ayouch, head of the Zagora Foundation. The photo depicted a real event, and it was as if this matter surprised Moroccans, as though they had been wondering whether their ministers actually knew how to laugh. In Morocco, it was never the case that political jokes were suppressed or prevented from being spread. On the contrary, it is said that Hassan II used to constantly demand to be informed of new jokes. At the Jamaa el-Fna, you can still catch many of the sage Masters working their magic to crowds of transfixed listeners. Storytellers work nightly at the square. All stories are told in Arabic and it’s customary to tip the teller a few dirhams. Through it all, Moroccans have maintained their ability to laugh at everything. Do we not have a well-known proverb that says, “Too much worrying makes you laugh?” In Marrakech’s famous Jamaa-el-Fna square there is a rich variety of storytelling traditions. The halca is the circle of listeners and spectators that forms around the halaiqui (storyteller) as he starts his tales in the hustle and bustle of the night market place.
