“People talk about fight or flight? That's nonsense. It's fight and flight.”
― Amanda Bouchet
JOIN us for an evening of prepared, TRUE STORIES told without notes; with live music & lively audience interaction in English or German
Most stories have a big decision at their center: Do I quit or continue? Do I speak up or walk out? Do stay or do I go? And at the core of all those decisions - it’s very often when boiled down to the essentials:
Do I fight or flight?
We invite storytellers to explore this theme, sometimes in the most unexpected ways. Take us on a high-wire act with you that can be terrifying or exhilierating, absurd or poignant.
At the end of the evening, the audience chooses their Favorite story and this storyteller is invited to the annual Eve of the Champs on June 21, 2024 at the historic Theater im Delphi.
If you would like feedback on your story before you hit the stage: hello@THEbEAR-storytelling.de
If you’ve got a story, we got a stage!
