Grimm | Dark Paths and Wild Wonder
OST Annual Long Show March 22 at 2:00pm

The Grimm – Dark Paths and Wild Wonder show invites audiences to (re)discover the enduring power of the Grimm brothers’ folktales. First published in the early 19th century, these vivid and dramatic tales were collected by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm from a long tradition of oral storytelling shared by farmers, midwives, and everyday people across German-speaking regions of Europe.

Over the centuries these stories have been retold, translated, and reimagined countless times across cultures and generations. While modern readers sometimes critique their darker themes and historical context, the tales continue to captivate audiences with their wisdom, wonder, and powerful reflections on the human experience.

This special annual presentation celebrates the rich tradition of oral storytelling and features a carefully chosen selection of Grimm tales, honouring their origins while revealing their raw beauty and surprising relevance for listeners in Ottawa today.
