Journey Through Four Generations of Lebanese Family History
When a dream delivers her a word she doesn’t understand—Miroth—Katherine Eid Wild follows its thread across time. Told in an intimate and poetic style, Miroth traces four generations of a Lebanese family: a great-grandfather’s escape from war, a grandmother’s secret rituals, a father’s immigration to America, and a daughter’s return to the land she was never meant to forget.
From a refugee quarter in Tripoli to a kitchen table in the suburbs of America, Miroth is a love letter to ancestral resilience and the quiet strength of women who prepare for a storm no one else sees coming.
Woven from family history and lived experience, Miroth invites audiences into a rich inner world — where the act of telling becomes an act of return.
About the Performance
Join award-winning storyteller Katherine Eid Wild for an evocative evening of poetic, ancestral storytelling. Drawing from four generations of her Lebanese family, Katherine weaves a tale of war, migration, memory, and return. This one-woman show has moved audiences across the country including shows at Bioneers Conference, Oregon Country Fair, and National Storytelling Conference Fringe.
This performance is best suited for adults who are drawn to ancestry, immigration stories, personal narrative, and intimate, heart-centered storytelling.

About Katherine Eid Wild
Katherine Eid Wild was born in Atlanta, Georgia, to her American mother and Lebanese father. At 18, she visited Lebanon for the first time, where she met her grandmother and connected with the place she had only known through her father’s stories. At 20, Katherine set off on a solo adventure with a one-way ticket to Hawaii, where she began writing. In 2022, at 33, she earned her BA in Cinematic Arts and New Media from Maharishi International University.
Her work is shaped by the practice of dreamwork, time spent in nature, and the rich tapestry of her family’s stories. Known for her poetic style and ‘stories within stories,’ Katherine’s intergenerational work invites audiences right into the heart of her inner world.
Her film, A Spring for Ali, has been screened at festivals from the Arab American Museum in Dearborn, Michigan, to Beirut, Lebanon. Recently, she was named a finalist in the International Storytelling Festival story slam and received a grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation for a new storytelling project. In 2025, Katherine will perform at the Bioneers Conference, Oregon Country Fair, and the National Storytelling Network Conference fringe festival, among others.
Katherine’s love of travel has taken her all over the world, but nowhere does she feel more enlivened than in Lebanon, where she now spends time regularly. She is currently a nomadic storyteller, taking to the stage at every opportunity.
