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.

    Soundcheck Schule: Das Konzert (3. - 6. Klasse)

    In this research theater project, our team transforms into the "Institute for Sound and Extraordinary Music." Using headphones and microphones, the institute establishes an augmented audio connection to Hamburg schools and, with the help of the students, records the school's sounds: recess and class, loud and quiet, rhythm and chaos, where does it sound good, who is ignored, and what if the sound of the school itself were music?

    To find out, the institute then invites the school to the theater for a school concert. Together with sound artists, the research theater team performs the school's sound—complete with concert pianist, school desk, megaphone choir, and ringtone.

    Every performance is a premiere – the concert with the sound of the respective school!

    For this reason, appointments will be held in advance at the Elbinselschule, the Stadtteilschule Eidelstedt and the Eckerkoppel primary school.

    A research theater project with special guests | Concept, development, stage design, performance: Hannah Kowalski | Development, composition: Sylvi Kretzschmar | Concept, development, text, augmented audio: Sibylle Peters | Concept, development, composition, performance: Louise Vind-Nielsen | Development, performance, augmented audio: Christopher Weymann | Costume design: Pauline Hüners | Technology: Alexander Nham

    St. Pauli Nachtmarkt

    Shopping and relaxing have never been so close together! With its late opening times, the St. Pauli night market on Spielbudenplatz has not only adapted to the usual local opening times, but also to the general shopping behavior of our time.

    The St. Pauli night market is no ordinary weekly market. It is right in the heart of the Reeperbahn on Spielbudenplatz and, with its late opening hours (4 p.m. to 11 p.m.), has not only adapted to the usual local opening times, but also to the general shopping behavior of our time. The directly attached beer garden with its live music stage also makes our weekly market an "after work" meeting place and offers residents and visitors an unforgettable shopping and enjoyment experience. The normal local supply of fresh food from the region is excellently combined with a relaxed end to the day.

    Note: During the Reeperbahn Festival or the Santa Pauli Christmas Market, the St. Pauli Night Market moves to the Reeperbahn, at the Boutique Bizarre level.

    A great moment in jazz: on 16 January 1938, a young man and his musicians took to the stage of the sold-out Carnegie Hall, visibly nervous. Benny Goodman had not wanted to give this concert. The famous patron John Hammond, whose sister Alice would later marry Benny Goodman, and some eager agents had persuaded him to do so. This was the first performance by a jazz band in the New York concert hall, where otherwise only classical music could be heard. In front of an audience of more than 2,000, Benny Goodman, dressed in a tailcoat, played the concert of his life. His big band had reached its zenith in those days, and Goodman would never have such a high-calibre line-up again.


    In addition to the orchestra, the trio and the quartet played – with Lionel Hampton on vibraphone and Teddy Wilson on piano. Martha Tilton sang »Loch Lomond« and »Bei mir bist du schoen« – Count Basie, Buck Clayton, Lester Young and other jazz musicians joined the Goodman band for a jam session on – »Honeysuckle Rose«. The unexpected enthusiasm of the rather conservative audience swept Benny Goodman and his band off their feet, lucky for posterity that John Hammond had the concert recorded.

    To this day, the album with the recordings of that evening in Carnegie Hall is one of the best-selling jazz productions ever and is reissued time and again. Even as a child, listening to these legendary recordings, Andrej Hermlin dreamed of a band like the one with which Benny Goodman celebrated his triumphs. Consequently, his next ambitious project was to re-perform the concert that made his idol Benny Goodman a legend. This performance is less about a faithful copy of the score and more about capturing the authentic atmosphere of that evening in Carnegie Hall. True-to-style suits, music stands, no electronic tricks; this is how the resurrection should succeed.
