What we’re about
The best way to get to know someone is to listen to their stories. Everyone has a story even if they think they don’t, and up in the hills of Lisbon, once a month, a random, eclectic, curious group of people gather to listen to these first-person stories told in an intimate setting.
While it is sort of like The Moth—we do want first-person stories that are short in length—we give you a few extra minutes (stories should be 7-10 min) and there is no competition or scoring. You should expect a friendly and welcoming audience sipping red wine or herbal tea while they share in the vulnerable moments of life. We usually have 10 storytellers. There is also an intermission which offers everyone a chance to socialize.
We welcome everyone. Listeners. Storytellers. And people who have never told a story on stage but have an itch to try. Please join us.

See all- MULHER - Storytelling Lisboa em PortuguêsFábrica Braço de Prata, Lisboa
M de maio, de mulher, de mãe e de... Storytelling Lisboa em Português.
Regressamos dia 21 com um tema que diz muito: MULHER!
Interpreta o tema livremente e conta-nos uma história com princípio, meio e fim, como se fosse um filme.
Todas as nuances de vida no feminino são bem-vindas. Fala-nos da mulher da tua vida, da educação enquanto mulher, da menopausa, da tua transformação em mulher, de ser pai de uma mulher. ❤️
Vem apoiar o nosso projeto de voluntários, ouvindo, e contando histórias.
Traz amigos, família e conhecidos. Como sempre estaremos na @fabricabracodeprata, dia 21 de maio às 19h30.
Temos 10 vagas para contadores de histórias. Inscreve-te no link da nossa bio.
Até breve!
- Storytelling Night—"SEX"Fábrica Braço de Prata, Lisboa
Our theme for May is getting hot: “Sex”
Come and listen to (or get on stage and tell us about) the whole range of sexual experience: the raunchy, the intimate, the embarrassing, the sublime, the dirty, and the hilarious. Kinky sex. Vanilla sex. Solo sex. We want to know it all.
As always, interpret the theme freely.
Please come just to listen or get on stage, be vulnerable, and share with us, a diverse group of welcoming and open people who are curious about each others' lives. Stories will last from 7 to 10 minutes. Expect ten stories plus an intermission.
We will hold our event at Fábrica Braço de Prata, an enormous multi-roomed centro cultural in Marvila that hosts everything from salsa bands to intimate piano concerts to philosophical comedy. To accommodate everyone, we will be in the outdoor tent right inside the gate to Fábrica Braço de Prata. Love is a popular edition, arrive early to get good seats.
Storytelling Lisboa is a completely free event run by volunteers. We welcome everyone to get on stage! Absolutely no experience is necessary.
We only ask that stories be true and personal and that they are performed as opposed to read—and they should be stories instead of philosophical musings, motivational speeches, or stand-up routines.
The content is completely at the discretion of the storyteller as long as it is related in the monthly theme and respectful to the diversity and experiences of all humans.
