For nearly a thousand years, storytellers have gathered in the Jemaa el Fna, the legendary square of the city, to recount ancient folktales and fables to rapt audiences. But this unique chain of oral tradition that has passed seamlessly from generation to generation is teetering on the brink of extinction. The competing distractions of television, movies and the internet have drawn the crowds away from the storytellers and few have the desire to learn the stories and continue their legacy Notes English Print version record Subject Storytellers -- Morocco -- Marrakech Storytelling -- Morocco -- Marrakech -- History Oral tradition -- Morocco -- Marrakech Tales -- Morocco -- Marrakech SOCIAL SCIENCE -- Folklore & Mythology.
