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.

    Inspiring Japan

    With its new presentation of the East Asia Collection, the MK&G is celebrating the unbroken inspirational power of Japanese design. Now on display for the first time are paintings from the Edo period (1615–1868), Buddhist calligraphy and colour woodblock prints from the private collection of Walter Gebhard, acquired by the museum in 2021. The exhibition unfolds over two storeys: In the first part, the pictures enter into a dialogue with ceramics, lacquerware, bamboo baskets, metalwork and sword ornaments from the existing collection.

    Isemarkt

    With a length of almost one kilometer, the Isemarkt is a particularly large weekly market. Around 200 exhibitors sell their goods here twice a week in picturesque surroundings and a nice atmosphere. The Isemarkt between the underground stations Hoheluftbrücke and Eppendorfer Baum is now a part of Hamburg that is hard to imagine without.

    Junge Symphoniker Hamburg

    It’s not just in their ensemble photo that the Junge Symphoniker Hamburg can be seen standing deep in water. In their summer concert conducted by Daniel Kirchmann, they now also plunge musically into the waves: the program features Alexander von Zemlinsky’s lushly effervescent orchestral fantasy »Die Seejungfrau« (The Mermaid) and Antonín Dvořák’s mysteriously seething symphonic poem »Der Wassermann« (The Water Goblin). Both works allow legends of fairy-tale (under)water creatures to merge with the waves of late Romantic orchestral sound.




    In his inimitable style, Dvořák told the old Bohemian horror story of the water sprite who kidnaps a girl, impregnates her, and finally kills their child shortly before the turn of the century. Naturally, this was accompanied by dark and dramatic orchestral colors – but not without the usual dose of folk verve.

    A few years later, at the beginning of the 20th century, Alexander von Zemlinsky wanted to show that even predecessors such as Richard Strauss had not yet exhausted the art of creating captivating, brilliantly orchestrated program music for orchestra. He chose Hans Christian Andersen’s world-famous fairy tale »The Little Mermaid« as the basis for this compositional challenge. He mastered the task of translating a water nymph’s unfulfilled longing for human love into passionately indulgent, pictorial music with flying colors—better than his own unhappy affair with Alma Mahler, which he processed in »Die Seejungfrau« (The Mermaid).
