Featured: Correctiv Exile
Correctiv Exile hosted panel talks with exiled journalists and artists. Meaningful and urgent, but people often left the room feeling heavy.
Together with Esther, they turned it into a storytelling evening: the same sincerity, more humanity, and room for lightness. Esther coaches the storytellers and helps shape the whole night, from the moderators’ script to a small exhibition. They’ve co-created two evenings so far, and the third is on its way.

Who we are
The Untold was founded by Esther de Bruijn, a theatre maker who has spent over ten years creating stages for voices that rarely get heard.
Today she works with a carefully selected team of hosts, coaches and storytellers: people who know how to light up a room, craft a story, and help others find their unique voice.
