Ladies' Night!

Dispatched Divorcée Presents

Ladies’ Night

Chapter 4: UNSILENCED STORIES

Storytelling show for divorcées & the friends who love them -- and a dance party!

Saturday, May 9th
Doors 19h | Show 20h
Diff sociobar, Lausanne, CH

A storytelling show for divorced women and the friends who love them.

What is Ladies’ Night?

Ladies’ Night is a live storytelling show where divorced women (and a few of our friends) take the stage and share true stories from the messy, liberating phases of life after divorce.

It’s part of a tradition where the storyteller tells a true story from their life. Like a conversation with your best friend that you wish wouldn’t end, but from a stranger on stage.

UNSILENCED STORIES

Somewhere along the way, she learned that her voice was too much or too-something else.

That she was not worth taking up space in this room, this culture, this relationship, this version of herself that she thought they wanted.

Ladies’ Night: Chapter 4 is about what happens when we stop silencing ourselves. 

UNSILENCED STORIES is an evening of true personal stories about the process of finding your own voice – after divorce, after what came before, after something else that changed you forever. 

It’s the stories that we haven’t been able to tell before.

Stories about being small. About shrinking to survive. About navigating worlds that weren’t built for us. And about the moment we decided to stop translating ourselves into a language that’s more comfortable for everyone else. 

UNSILENCED STORIES are honest and raw. They can make a room full of women laugh and cry the next. 

They are not about victims or blame. They are stories where we are the main character, not our ex. 

It's a curated show, not an open mic
