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!
So on Tuesday April 15th come 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.
After four beautiful and personal storytelling evenings in season 23-24, Soula and Theater Kikker will also present four editions in the new theater season. Soula welcomes you to attend her last storytelling evening on April 15th.
Soula's Storytelling Nights are in English.

"I am a student, a friend, a sister, a migrant, a messy, curious, playful, and always-questioning human being. I like basking in the sun, cuddling with my friends, dancing, being in community spaces, and shouting for a free Palestine."
