"Go celebrate life, my grandma said, 'Leave for the Verbena!'"

My name is Cristina Verbena (Verbena is my stage name and means ‘festival’/’fanfare’ in Spanish).

I am someone who tells stories.

My trade is a joyful one.

It is a gorgeous way of being in life-storytelling.

Faces and bodies that listen, laugh, ask questions…

A manner of discovering ourselves in that changing mirror which tales are.

Thank you for being here.
