We invite you to the Story Karaoke Bar! Just like a real karaoke bar, but with collected stories from Neukölln, drinks and mics for everyone instead of songs. Together with our Tender Bartenders you can speak up, speak out and prick up your ears. Personal fables of empowerment combine with stories of happiness and misfortune, real everyday myths encounter funny misunderstandings, embarrassing plots compete with cheesy how-we-met-stories - perhaps consisting of only one sentence.
Don’t be shy and connect in storytelling!
The Story Karaoke Bar is a site-specific format in which guests speak or (re)tell the words and stories of another, previously interviewed person from Neukölln into a microphone and can thus trace the collective, representative and appropriative level of a story.
A staged encounter between a group of strangers develops into a collective exercise in listening and storytelling.
