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.

    "the work" - ein Einstieg in eine neue Sichtweise -> Ein Weg zur Gelassenheit

    Byron Katie discovered that she suffered when she believed her thoughts and that she did not suffer when she did not believe those thoughts.

    The cause of her depression at the time was not the world around her, but her beliefs and preconceived notions about the world around her. In a flash of insight, she realized that in our search for happiness, we are heading in the wrong direction.

    Instead of embarking on the hopeless endeavor of trying to change the world to fit our own preconceived notions of how it "should" be, we can question these notions, and by encountering reality as it is, we experience unimaginable freedom and joy. As a result, a bedridden, suicidal woman was filled with love for all that life brings.

    This evening can only be an introduction to the topic. It is a wonderful method that can lead everyone to greater independence.

    Requirements: none

    Seminar time: 7:00 PM – 9:15 PM

    Price €20 per person

    Registration at: kontakt@onnnea-hh.de

    The registration deadline is 5 working days before the start of the seminar.

    1400 Tonnen Sand (ab 3 Jahre)

    Why the Sandman runs out of dreams.

    There's sand everywhere, right? Actually, sand is slowly becoming scarce because so many houses are built with it. Even our theater is built from 1400 tons of sand. Time to do a play about sand and take a closer look:
    Have you ever looked at sand through a microscope and seen the tiny tardigrades that live on the grains? Did you know that even the lens of a microscope is made of sand? And what would happen if even the Sandman ran out of sand?

    To complement the performance, "The Experimental Sandbox" is available in our stores: a box full of tools and ideas for experimenting in the sandbox – with sandpaper, magnifying glass, concrete mix, real gemstones, hourglass kit, booklet and much more.

    FUNDUS THEATER / Research Theatre | Development: Sibylle Peters, Hanno Krieg, Weloba Mtaki | Set Design: Hanno Krieg | Performance: Hanno Krieg, Sibylle Peters, Weloba Mtaki | Materials Science Consultant: Zoe Laughlin, Institute of Making | Lighting: Brenda Alaís, Nicolas Wolf | Music: Ansuman Biswas

    In collaboration with Lois Keidan and students from Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences and Queen Mary University of London.

    400 Jahre Reeperbahn - Teil 2

    Everyone knows the Reeperbahn, but the story behind its name is unfamiliar to many! To mark the 400th anniversary of the Reeperbahn(s), the Museum of Hamburg History, in cooperation with local historian Eva Decker and renowned city historian Dominik Kloss, is offering a program dedicated to the origins and forerunners of the St. Pauli district: what role did the ropewalkers and their ropewalks play over the past 400 years, and how did they shape St. Pauli? What traces of their history can still be found today in the district and its eastern neighbors? The tour is divided into two 90-minute parts, taking place on consecutive Sundays. Alternating between the first and last two centuries since 1626, the tour explains the reasons for the repeated relocation of this unique craft outside the city walls and the development of the St. Pauli suburb – always following in the footsteps of the ropemakers and their guild, as well as the milieu in which they lived and worked. Note: Tours must be booked individually. Duration: 90 minutes. Cost: €10 per person (€5 reduced). Meeting point Part 1: In front of the Museum of Hamburg History, Holstenwall 24, 20355 Hamburg (end of Millerntor Guardhouse). Meeting point Part 2: In front of the Millerntor Guardhouse, Millerntorplatz 20, 20359 Hamburg (end of Beatles Square). Recommended for adults and young people aged 14 and over. Here you can find Part 1 of the tour.

    A fox on the fairway

    by Ken Ludwig

    directed by Dave Earl

    Witty dialogue, quirky characters, and the zany energy of American screwball comedies: From May 20 to 30, the Hamburg Players present “A Fox on the Fairway,” a fast-paced farce by American playwright Ken Ludwig, at the Theater an der Marschnerstraße.

    Every year the Quail Valley Country Club takes on their rival, Crouching Squirrel, in a tournament – but this year, there is more at stake than just the trophy. Henry Bingham bets his life savings and his wife’s antique shop against his rival Dickie. Luckily, he can rely on his new assistant Justin, a golf prodigy, to win the day. But when Justin finds out his fiancée Louise has accidentally flushed his grandmother’s wedding ring down the toilet, his game falls apart. Will the frantic attempts to keep him focused save the day? Will Dickie keep the trophy? Or does Quail Valley have a secret weapon to outfox him?
