Poetry Slam

Word art on Hamburg's stages.

Experience culture. Poetry Slam in Hamburg

Hamburg stands for art and culture through and through. And over the years, poetry slams have gained a firm place in Hamburg's cultural programme. Those who want to see young lyrical talents have the opportunity to do so in Hamburg almost every week. The young poet scene meets here regularly on stage to compete and inspire the audience. And with the "artistic duels", the city even has its own unofficial championship. Here, you'll find an overview of current events and the most frequent venues.

    Amaryllis Quartett

    Longing can mean giving a tangible sense of lack something like an undefined direction. No medium is as familiar with this phenomenon as music, where the audible sound always communicates to its listeners as a structure of tension, an urgency, or a palpable sense of calm. The Amaryllis Quartet explores the relationship between »music« and »longing« in a multi-layered program that begins by combining Antonín Dvořák’s famous miniature »Cypresses« with the contemporary work »Gesänge der Sehnsucht« (Songs of Longing) by David Philip Hefti. The key of longing par excellence, E-minor, then gives Ludwig van Beethoven the opportunity to point far ahead into the musical language of Romanticism through his string quartet, using the stylistic means of the Classical period.

    Anders Zorn. Schwedens Superstar

    An exhibition on the multifaceted work of the Swede Anders Zorn (1860-1920). Zorn became a veritable star painter in Europe, and in the United States, he painted portraits of two presidents, as well as various high-society figures. The exhibition includes over 150 works, including several major works, but also rarely seen paintings and watercolors, his impressive etchings, and several small sculptures.

    Ariadne auf Naxos

    "It is a simple and tremendous problem of life: that of fidelity", is how Hugo von Hofmannsthal described the core of their third opera together, Ariadne auf Naxos, in a letter to Richard Strauss. To live does not mean to persevere and hold on to what has been lost. If you want to live, you have to let go, forget, get over yourself - constantly transform yourself...
