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.

    Exhibition and opening >>Fidele Fauna

    A crocodile on Altona beach or a wild herd of pigs as the fictional namesake of the Elbe island of Schweinesand – a large joint exhibition displays pictures of small, large, dangerous, cuddly or bizarre animals.

    ‘We believe that the diversity of the exhibition can provide great artistic enjoyment and pleasure for all generations, and we are very much looking forward to unleashing this artistic zoo on the public,’ says painter and graphic artist Miriam Diezmann, who has been responsible for the exhibitions in the gallery of the Elbschloss Residenz for two years.

    The works approach the animal world in very different artistic styles and show the artistic range with which the subject can be dealt with.

    Here: animals and humans in charming coexistence: a baby elephant that wants to read along. There: birds stealing the clothes of someone bathing in ice water.

    Horses that sweep us away with their energy. Big, round eyes to fall in love with. Alert eyes that look at us critically.

    The animal pictures evoke emotions in us. Are the motifs based on real events, or do they follow the stories that have been spread about them? Stories, or more precisely, poems with a wink, complement some of the pictures and complete the exhibition.

    Fauré Quartett / Janne Saksala

    The renowned Fauré Quartet expands its sound palette with the Finnish double bass player Janne Saksala, soloist and principal double bass of the Berliner Philharmoniker since 2008. Together they will present a programme that brings together the highlights of Romantic chamber music. The focus is on Franz Schubert’s immortal »Forellenquintett«, whose effervescent liveliness and catchy melodies take on a new depth in the interpretation of this exceptional ensemble. This masterpiece is complemented by Schubert’s rarely performed »Adagio« and »Rondo Concertant« as well as Robert Schumann’s passionate piano quartet, a masterpiece of the genre that reflects the entire emotional world of Romanticism.

    fiio

    Athena Tour:
    With the "Athena Tour," Viennese indie rock musician fiio returns to Germany. He brings with him a new album of the same name that will make every indie fan's heart beat faster. Between gripping guitar riffs and danceable drums and basslines, fiio, with his Viennese charm, is a storyteller from the late 1920s. Confusing modernity, everyday romance, and travel float through the mind as lyrics on songs by bands like
    Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes and Phoenix. 2010s Tumblr music that evokes melancholy, euphoria and
    “I-being” united.
    A wild live show with drums and guitar reminiscent of performances in a New York underground club.


    about fiio:
    fiio – Indie rock with Viennese charm. Inspired by the relaxed, easygoing lifestyle
    the “supposedly” most unfriendly city in the world, a picture of the middle/end
    Twenties drawn. Full of everyday romance, daydreams and
    semi-serious drama. In the middle: fiio as actor, observer or occasional
    Cartoonist. Inspired by the indie sound of the 90s, 00s and modern times, fiio
    both as a guitarist and songwriter a multifaceted and danceable
    Sound. Between modern irony and timelessly cool chic, fiio’s music is a
    Proof that guitar music is never dead, never was and never will be.
