About the dark side of our psyche

Every year, the festival organizes fascinating talks with artists from the festival, scientists, and experts from various disciplines. This year, the chosen topics are inspired by the theme of the Seer: the dark side of our psyche, foreseeing what awaits us, and reflecting on what happens behind the veil of death.

About The Amsterdam Storytelling Festival

When the days grow darker and colder, it is time to come together and warm our hearts with stories. This year, The Amsterdam Storytelling Festival invites you to meet the Seer - not as a fortune teller, but as someone who hears truth. Blind to appearances and distractions, the Seer notices what others overlook and sees what remains invisible to ordinary eyes.

Through performances, lectures, and workshops, the festival offers space for stories that dare to explore the uncomfortable, the invisible, and the unknown. From inner worlds to the boundaries of life and death, from visions to imagination… unspoken truths, looming disasters, secrets behind masks. The Seer knows. Who dares to listen?
