“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 with live music & lively audience interaction
Denise Banks hosts an evening of true stories told live, without notes, in English or German. Storytellers explore the idea of "Fight or Flight", sometimes in the most unexpected ways. It's a high-wire act between the audience and storyteller which is both terrifying and exhilarating at the same time. An entertaining evening that renews your faith in your fellow human beings.
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!
