Een avond vol verhalen van professionele storytellers en getalenteerde nieuwkomers.
Grappige, verdrietige, spannende, lieve, ongelooflijke, troostende verhalen: dat is waar Soula's Storytelling Nights om draait. Voel je thuis en luister naar verhalen van over de hele wereld!
Kom dinsdag 19 december luisteren naar ervaren verhalenvertellers en getalenteerde nieuwkomers die hun verhaal vertellen. Waargebeurde verhalen over gekke families, vreselijke dates, mythen, volksverhalen of nieuw geschreven verhalen. En als de inspiratie toeslaat, wordt het publiek uitgenodigd om hun naam in een hoed te stoppen. Aan het einde van de avond worden twee namen willekeurig gekozen en mogen de gelukkigen hun verhaal delen. Alles kan zolang de verhalen maar verteld worden en niet van papier worden voorgelezen.
Vier keer per jaar host Soula Notos deze storytellingavond in Theater Kikker. De komende edities zijn op 13 februari en 16 april.
Let op! Soula's Storytelling Night is Engelstalig.

My name is Fitri. I am 46 years old, born and raised in Sumatera, Indonesia. My life took an interesting turn last year, I married a Dutchman, and we decided to build a life in the Netherlands. Before moving here, I worked as a program manager for the United Nations and some international organisations, working on humanitarian response/ emergency response, climate change, and human security-related issues in Indonesia and Southeast Asia. I speak Bahasa Indonesia and English, and now I’m learning Dutch.
I have always had a passion for storytelling: listening to stories, and telling stories. Back in my childhood, I enjoyed listening to stories on the radio, or fairy tales my parents and grandparents read. Later on, I started storytelling to my siblings when I babysat them (giving a context: we didn't have a television until I was 10), so most of the entertainment came from spoken tales and radio broadcasts. Now that I am living in the NL, navigating the challenges of learning Dutch, adapting to the culture, making friends, and finding a job, I have discovered that storytelling is a powerful tool. Performing storytelling has helped me connect with people and find my way in this new country I now call home, without losing my sense of identity. In addition to storytelling, my other passions include theater play, dancing, scuba diving, and studying/practicing Vipassana meditation.
