Storytelling Night—"Goosebumps"

Monthly live storytelling in Lisbon. A free event rooted in inclusion, diversity, vulnerability and community. Ten true stories on theme. ​In honor of Halloween, our theme for October is GOOSEBUMPS 👻 ​But we don't only want the scary moments, we are looking for all the moments that made your skin prickle. Fear, love, awe, ecstasy, intuition, dread, wonder. ​Give us stories that chilled you, haunted you, or left you breathless. Emotional, supernatural, or anything that hit you so deeply that your body reacted along with your soul. ​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 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. 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.
