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.

    Berliner Operetten Ensemble

    The Berlin Operetta Ensemble presents the most beautiful operettas by Strauss, Lehár, Kálmán and others in the magnificent atmosphere of the Laeiszhalle. In an extraordinary combination of historical backdrop and top-class soloists from the Komische Oper, Deutsche Oper and Staatsoper Berlin, it offers an entertaining collection of the most beautiful melodies from »Die Fledermaus«, »Countess Mariza«, »Im weißen Rössl« and other treasures from operetta history. With class and authenticity, the soloists shine in their roles and take the audience into a world full of emotion and passion. The performance is rounded off by sensitive piano accompaniment.

    A whole day dedicated to the spoken word. And that in the most spectacular location Hamburg has to offer: the Best of Poetry Slam Day in the Elbphilharmonie! It promises to be a feast of storytelling, poetry, stand-up and every other format slam poetry comes in. The highlight of the day is Hamburg’s first Slam Award Gala. Kampf der Künste bows down before the greatest slammers of all, and rewards them not only with applause but also, for a change, with a prize for their fantastic work – as performers, as event organisers, as part of a scene. This show will, of course, also include a variety of thrilling performances.

It promises to be a feast of storytelling, poetry, stand-up and every other format slam poetry comes in. The grand finale late in the evening is the Slam of Legends – multi-award-winning artists who honed their craft on slam stages in the past and who have since become famous across the country. Comedians, authors and musicians who were performing in poetry slams from their youth, and who now sweep across the country’s stages as if they were in their own living rooms.
