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 home of the Poetry Slam in Hamburg.

    "El Beneficiadero" - dokumentarisches Theaterstück

    After her father’s murder, an actress embarks on a journey toward inner peace, reflected in the art of coffee processing. On stage, the coffee process becomes a powerful metaphor for transformation: just as the bean must be processed to reveal its finest flavor, the soul also needs to be treated, washed, and renewed to find inner peace. On this journey, familial love—and especially the strength of her mother—becomes her guide and support, transforming pain into hope. A play about resilience, memory, and the power to believe again in life and in peace.

    6th Klangstrolche Congress in Harburg

    During the autumn week of the 6th Klangstrolche Congress, things will be as colourful as a rainbow! Not only will we discover lots of colours, but also just how different we humans can be and how much joy this diversity can bring.

    Whether it’s singing at the top of our voices, cheerful rattling, rhythmic clapping or creative movement – every form of expression has its place. What matters isn’t who’s best at something, but the joy of taking part, trying things out and experiencing them. From many individual sounds, songs, rhythms and musical moments emerge that will stay with us for a long time.

    Our workshop leaders offer various workshops on the theme ‘We Are Colourful’.

    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?
