A performing storyteller is completely depending on the memory. In the process of making a performance the storyteller must make some choices regarding the memory. This article is based on a musical storytelling performance. Through using the research question: what possibilities does the chronotope and mimesis provide in an artistic working process towards an oral storytelling performance? the author looks at the concept of mimesis as a process and chronotope as a clarifying term. According to Catherine Heinemeyer, a chronotope is applicable because it is not only about the artistic experience, but the metaphor places the artistic work in contemporary political, economic, and social tendencies. This helps identify ways of behaving in a practice [Heinemeyer 2020]. Paul Ricoeur (1913–2005) relates. Aristotle’s mimesis to poiesis, which means art, and it is therefore only within the art that mimesis is effective [Ricoeur 1991]. The author has used examples from the storytelling performance to understand the concept of mimesis and the metaphor chronotope better.
