These days in which technologies continue to entertain the audience by telling stories combined. It has survived the simple art of storytelling and oral narrative

The storytelling is the art of telling stories or events, real or imagined a group of people, using tools as key word and gesture of the narrator, in a situation of lively and direct communication.

The storytelling arrived in Bogota more than 20 years ago by Cuban and Spanish influence. The first place where he practiced storytelling was in the Chorro de Quevedo, thanks to the bohemian, cultural and academic environment that is perceived in place.

This art came to fame with the worldwide success of stand up comedy (very near to the storytelling art) La Pelota de Letras Andrés López in 2004. This art is practiced in various public spaces such as the Chorro de Quevedo , Maloka, Lourdes and Space Storytelling Usaquén.

There in space, among the stories coming out of their minds or the minds of the writers come to light jokes about Bogota on Colombia or the reality of the average Bogotano.
Each storyteller has its own style.

For example, Fabian David, outraged by the lack of historical memory before colonization in Colombia, likes to tell about Indian mythology, Pablo Torres, making his childhood experiences and becomes literature and Toño, classic-making literature and converts in living history.

Usaquen space allows storytellers to try out new stories, or practice other very necessary when counting in private shows or theaters skills. For example, here's the story of La Chica Más Linda de la ciudad.
