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.

    Gustav Mahler: Auferstehen

    An evening exploring light, memory, and the ultimate question. Blending elements of a concert, a reading, a show, and a musical reinterpretation, this year-end event not only performs Gustav Mahler’s »Resurrection Symphony« but also brings it into the present. Structured like a play or a film, with the works serving as chapters in a larger narrative: from the gentle »Urlicht« to Edvard Moritz’s »Nachtmusik« and on to the overwhelming finale of Mahler’s Second Symphony.
