International Amsterdam Storytelling Festival

The International Amsterdam Storytelling Festival  brings some of the best contemporary spoken word artists, authors and storytellers from across the globe to Amsterdam for a week of engaging tales!

Storytelling around Amsterdam

Already in its 11th edition, the International Storytelling Festival offers something refreshing to the Dutch scene. By combining both local Dutch artists and international guests, the events remind audiences of times past when the spoken word was the main way in which knowledge, history and traditions were passed on from generation to generation. 

Addressing a range of topics, the performances are both animated and captivating. In 2018, the event will take place at the Amsterdam Public Library (Openbare Bibliotheek Amsterdam), Podium Mozaïek and Mezrab. Join for a workshop, hear a story and enjoy the refreshing art of a bygone era during the International Storytellers Festival!

The selection of storytellers telling their stories in English include Peter Groom, Sònia Gardés, Peter & Georg Chand, Marjoliein Frijling, Abishek Thapar, Margo van de Linde, Raphael Rodan & Peter Chand, Marieke Tiede, Raffi Feghali, Robin Block, Bastiaan Van den Driessche, Rachel Rose Reid and more.
