Story Night Brussels: an evening of connection and community through personal stories
Looking for a different kind of St. Valentine's plan? Join us for the one and only Story Night of Storytelling Brussels!
Storytelling Brussels aims to create a space where we pause, connect, and experience our shared humanity through the power of stories. A space where everyday experiences become well-crafted narratives with meaning and impact. All tellers will bring stories around the theme of love, in all its glorious complexity: happiness and heartbreak, laugh and pain, eternal and ephimeral, modern and evergreen. Stories that will make you laugh, cry, reflect, feel. Come with an open mind and leave with a full heart.Event Details:
- Each storyteller has prepared a short story. Most of them will be personal and real, a few might be folktales or traditional.
- Venue: The Bridge Theatre Studio
- Doors open 19:30. Show starts at 20:00 (sharp!). More than just a show, we want to create a community around storytelling, so we encourage you to come early, socialize, and maybe meet new people!
- Attention! This time we will be collecting donations upon check-in at the door. We recommend a donation of 10€/person, but if you're on short of cash at the moment just drop us a message on advance or simply tell us at the door and you can choose a price that works for you. All the earnings will go to compensate the performers (some of whom will be traveling long distances for this event) and organise more of these in the future. Please bring some cash.
- All stories will be told in English
- We kindly ask you to be present and listen actively to the stories. But don't fear, we will also have time to have fun and chat in between, and breaks to enjoy the bar!
Reservations: it helps us a lot if you RSVP through here. Space is limited, so secure your spot by booking today! If in the end you cannot make it, please cancel your reservation so someone else might take your spot. Please note that if you haven’t arrived by the time the show starts, your spot might be given to someone else.
What is storytelling?
Sharing stories in front of an audience may well be the oldest form of art. This ancient oral tradition is experiencing a modern revival through organizations like The Moth in New York, the Mezrab in Amsterdam, or The Bear in Berlin. Now, it is Brussels’ turn!
Though deeply connected to many other disciplines, storytelling is an artform on its own. It might make you laugh, but it's not stand-up comedy. It might make you think, but it's not a TED talk. It make help you heal, but it's not therapy. Ultimately, it's about connecting with each other, sharing and celebrating life.Want to tell a story?
We believe everyone has a story to tell, and we welcome everyone who wants to dare! Previous performance experience is a plus, but not necessarily required. We simply ask you to fill up the form below and commit to respect the format (you will have priority if you have come to our shows before). Depending on the volume of applications we will contact you only when we find a spot for you, thank you for your understanding!
