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.

    fucking beautiful

    based on a text by Lili Roesing

    We almost all exist in multiple spaces now. In real life and in digital life. Perhaps we've all stumbled across wellness culture videos while scrolling. It's time to focus on ourselves, to protect our own peace, to manifest our lives, to go to the gym for our own health (not just to look hot, of course). Mindfulness, longevity, self-care, gut health, holistic health, clean eating...

    Under the guise of self-care, a capitalist-driven lifestyle is promoted, in which the primary focus is solely on oneself and retreating into an apolitical, individual sphere. But who are we when we are alone?

    Fourteen young performers deconstruct body and voice texts, develop their own songs and choreographies, and thus create their own unique compositions. Language is understood as a living organism that is constantly transforming. The project explores practices of "taking risks" on stage – both aesthetically and socially.

    With “fucking beautiful”, the newly founded StudiCompagnie of the monsun.theater, under the artistic direction of Dr. phil. Alina Gregor, realizes a performative staging composition based on the theatre text by Lili Roesing.

    Gartenwissen @hortus - Giftpflanzen erkennen

    Speaker: Helge Masch - Why are some plants poisonous and how can they be identified?

    Poisonous plants unfortunately have no natural markings. It's impossible to tell from the outside whether a plant is poisonous or not. On this guided tour, participants will learn about plants that they should only look at and not touch or eat. No prior botanical knowledge is necessary.

    Note: A poisonous plant has never attacked a human!

    Hortus is the Latin word for garden. The courses entitled "Garden Knowledge @hortus" take place as in-person events in the Botanical Garden.
    A donation of two euros per person is requested (children free).
    Registration required!
