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.

    Ödön von Horváth

    Judgment Day

    With Maria Anker, Hans Hansen, Sandra Kanthak, Tom Ludwig, Carla Ochmann, Ramona Pautz, Jarno Soukup and Timo Taniewski

    Direction & stage Torsten Diehl, dramaturgy Cristiana Garba, video Mued van de Schlaaf music Murnau-Jessner-Bros.

    Ödön von Horváth wrote *The Last Day* shortly before his death. He died in June 1938 – at the age of 36. The Reichspogromnacht in November, the war – he didn't live to see any of it. And yet his writings are permeated by it. Not as prediction, but as perception.

    A train accident. Eighteen dead. And the question of what happens next. The focus isn't on the event itself, but on how it's discussed. The shifts in perspective. The small acts of exoneration. As if this already reveals how guilt is distributed—and disappears, without ever truly disappearing.

    Der Markt der Møglichkeiten

    The Market of Possibilities is a curated cultural bazaar in the railway hall in Hamburg's Oberhafen – initiated by the non-profit association WeField eV
    With this market, we want to create a vibrant place for creativity, exchange and new ideas – right in the middle of a hall that would otherwise be empty.
    Once a month, we bring DIY stalls, street food, music, art and community under one roof – and show how much is possible when you fill spaces together.

    Mamø is more than just a market:
    It is a place to participate, meet, and stay.

    Die Entführung aus dem Serail

    Four friends are traveling together on a luxury yacht: Konstanze, Belmonte, Blonde, and Pedrillo. A violent storm throws everything into disarray. While Belmonte is left adrift at sea, the other three are shipwrecked on a mysterious island. This island is ruled by a shrewd sheikh named Selim. Osmin, who loves making lists and keeping everything under control, maintains order and rules.

    On the island, different worlds collide: order and freedom, fear and courage, rules and friendship. Mozart's famous arias and ensembles are presented in a new text that clarifies the plot and makes it more accessible to young audiences. The characters are allowed to be funny, strict, brave, or fearful – and they are allowed to change.

    This children's opera invites everyone to laugh, get caught up in the excitement, and listen attentively. With this musical fairy tale, the children's theatre continues its mission to introduce children to the genre in an imaginative way and to ignite their passion for musical theatre.
