Storytelling Night—"TEENAGERS"

Our theme for July is TEENAGERS 🎒

Who you were back then. Who you thought you’d become. Who you were desperately trying not to be.

Give us stories of first freedoms, bad decisions, loud emotions, secret notebooks, friendships that felt eternal, and mistakes that still make you cringe.

As always, interpret the theme freely.

Maybe it’s about the teenager you once were. Or the one you’re parenting now. Or the one you’re constantly negotiating with. Or the moment your teenage self still shows up, uninvited.

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.
