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.

    Ghirigori feat. Dan Kinzelman (Artist in Residence)

    Einlass: 18:30 | Beginn: 19:30 |

     

    Ghirigori ist ein an der HfMT Hamburg gegründetes Quartett, das aus unterschiedlichen künstlerischen und persönlichen Hintergründen entstanden ist. Im Mittelpunkt steht die gemeinsame Suche nach neuen Klängen. Aus dem Zusammenspiel der vier Musiker:innen entwickeln sich besondere Klangfarben und ungewöhnliche kompositorische Formen. Die Mischung aus zwei elektrischen, mit Effekten bearbeiteten und zwei akustischen Instrumenten sorgt für klangliche Vielfalt und eine große Bandbreite. So entstehen eindringliche, mitunter auch verstörende Klanglandschaften. Für diesen Anlass wird das Ensemble von Dan Kinzelman erweitert, einem vielseitigen Multiinstrumentalisten, der sich zwischen traditionellem Jazz sowie zeitgenössischer und experimenteller Musik bewegt.
