Voicing the Void presents Restorative Acts: Stories on Stage.

about

Join us for an evening of powerful performance where words and stories come alive on stage. This special event features eight short plays and spoken word pieces created through our restorative storytelling projects, sharing real experiences of resilience, hope, and change.

The performances span diverse journeys; from survivors of violence and refugees seeking safety, to members of the LGBTQIA+ community, victims of hate crime, and voices from communities historically divided. Each story offers a glimpse into the strength of the human spirit and the possibility of transformation.

Some pieces will be performed by participants themselves, while others will be shared by professional actors on their behalf, ensuring stories can be told with integrity while protecting the wellbeing of the storytellers. At its heart, the Restorative Storytelling Festival is about amplifying voices too often silenced, celebrating creativity, and building connection through the universal power of story. Expect honesty, courage, and inspiration in a space where art becomes a catalyst for empathy, understanding, and
change.

Content note: Some stories include themes of violence, loss, and discrimination. We recommend this event for audiences aged 18+.
