Storytelling Night: What on earth?!

On this floating rock, potatoes grow quietly underground, and end up sliced, mashed, or left as the “last fry” no one touches. They become memories of your first job at a snack bar, or a metaphor for someone who first appeared plain, but was sizzling hot on the inside.

Life is always bursting out of the Earth. Only our wonderful planet could create so much meaning from a potato. But there’s also that solo trip where you jumped into a freezing lake. Or when that plant you cared for so much pushed out a flower. Or when you found love at a red-light bike lane.

Like a potato, the Earth is a big ball of treasures. This evening is an ode to our planet, telling stories about the great gift of being alive - whether it's climbing a mountain, or the succulent satisfaction of eating the last fry.

Earth Overshoot Day series

Halfway through the year, we’ve already used up the planet’s resources… but we’ve got ideas to live more joyfully, more creatively, and kinder to Earth. And would that also involve AI-generated video's of humanized cats.... or not? Join us for a Storytelling Night: What on Earth?! (28 May) and OASE's Vintage Market (31 May). Celebrate nature, creativity, and good vibes together.
