Thank you everyone who joined us for The Amsterdam Storytelling Festival 2025! This year it was all about the Fool – open beginnings, the leap into the unknown, and the power of naiveté. The Fool lives between worlds, where superficial truths break and a deeper layer reveals itself. Together with the spirit of the Fool, we had five days of amazing shows, workshops, talks, and beautiful moments of connection in-between.

Next year we will come together yet again, to warm up our hearts with stories…. see you in November, 2026!
