Listen to the stories of professional storytellers and talented newcomers!
Funny, sad, scary, sweet, unbelievable, comforting stories: that's what Soula's Storytelling Nights are all about. Make yourself at home and listen to stories from all over the word!
Join us on Tuesday April 4th (special theme: Revolution!) and listen to experienced storytellers and talented newcomers tell their tales. And if inspiration strikes, audience-members are invited to put their name in a hat. At the end of the night two names will be picked at random and these two lucky birds will get to share their story. True stories about crazy families, horrible dates, myths, folk tales, newly written stories: anything goes as long as the stories are told and not read from paper. The amazing Utrecht artist Reversed will enrich the night with her songs.
Join this new monthly evening at Theater Kikker and let yourself be wrapped in stories!

Anastasis was born in Athens. He studied classical and folk music, cultural anthropology and composition for film and media in Greece and the UK. He lived in Amsterdam since 2015, where he is developing his work in storytelling and theatre as a musical director, teacher and performer.
Negar was born in a very green city in the north of Iran, near the Caspian sea and in the vicinity of the woods, mountains and river. It is not surprising that nature has impacted her deeply. It makes her at ease and at peace. Then Negar arrived in The Netherlands. Losing friends, connections and my memories has been very challenging.
In searching to make sense of this new environment, a period of introspection started. This is how she came across storytelling; in the search for a new home. It is Negar's way of dealing with uncertainty, the feeling of not belonging and being grounded. Storytelling is her new forest.
Syrian based in Utrecht- Netherlands. Her work focuses on activism, advocacy and community building. Her passion is creating a safe space for people and connecting them.
