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.

    Clipping. COUNTERFEIT MADISON

    Line Up: Experimental Rap


    Clipping (Daveed Diggs, William Hutson, and Jonathan Snipes) are very story-oriented. They deal in ontology and narrative as much as beats and rhymes. Across six albums, along with countless singles, remixes, and collaborations, Clipping has been approaching making music like writing science fiction since the band's conception. Two of their records have been nominated for Hugo Awards (one of science fiction's top literary prizes), and a novella spun-off from their music was nominated for a third. As Clipping, they've collaborated with as many of their fellow experimental noise artists as they have fellow rappers.


    While their last few projects have been record-long concepts like the classic prog rock of old, new album Dead Channel Sky is mixtape-like, a carefully curated collection of songs in which every track is a love letter to a possible present. Like a mashup of distinct elements, the overall concept is there, but the result is brief glimpses into a world rather than an overview of it. It sounds crisp and classic at the same time. When something strikes us as retrospective and futuristic at the same time, it's a reminder of how slipshod our present moment truly is


    On Dead Channel Sky, Clipping texture-map the twin histories of hip-hop and cyberpunk onto an alternate present where Rammellzee and Bambaataa are the superheroes of old; where Cybotron and Mantronix are the reigning legends; where Egyptian Lover and Freestyle, are debated endlessly, and Ultramag and Public Enemy are the undeniable forefathers; where the lost movements of the 1980s and the 1990s are still happening: rave, trip-hop, hip-house, acid house, drum & bass, big beat—the detritus of a different timeline, the survivors of armed audio warfare. That was at thirty-three and a third, its atrocities imprinted upon yet another generation, what someone once called, “the presence of the significance of things” without a hint of ambiguity.

    Concierto Ibérico: Arabeske

    Iberian Concert
    Arabesque - The Miracle of Al-Andalus


    Music, dance and poetry tell stories from Al-Andalus, medieval Spain ruled by the Moors: of the beauty of Moorish princesses or the full moon nights in the Alhambra, of the Palace of Joy or the interpreters of Toledo.

    From the 8th to the 15th century, the Moors ruled a large part of the Iberian Peninsula, forcing Christians, Muslims, and Jews to coexist. This coexistence was naturally not entirely free of conflict, but there were also repeated long periods of genuine peace, characterized by tolerance and respect among religious groups, secured by treaties and alliances—and thus, these centuries of Moorish rule are referred to by historians and philologists as the "Miracle of Al-Andalus."

    It was precisely the coexistence of cultures that brought about a special flowering of the sciences and arts that was unparalleled – a coexistence that made possible buildings like the Alhambra, the most subtle poetry and the most rousing music – and that gave rise to a special festival culture in which music, dance and poetry necessarily belonged together.

    Concierto Iberico now brings this artistic blossoming to our stage: Experience a feast full of music—from the Renaissance Moresca to Ravel's Bolero—, the storyteller John Rogers with Hispano-Moorish stories by Irving and Nasruddin, as well as poems by Goethe. Look forward to the dance performances of Dani Niemietz, who will translate this coexistence of cultures into dance styles ranging from belly dancing to contemporary dance and flamenco dialect. In short: Experience the miracle of eight centuries of coexistence between three cultures and three arts on the stage of the Kulturkirche Altona!


    Concierto Ibérico are:

    Inés Pina Pérez – recorders
    Juan González Martínez – trombones, conductor.
    Miguel Bellas – Spanish guitars, theorbo
    Lea Suter – 16-foot harpsichord
    Peter Kuhnsch – Percussion
    John Rogers – Storyteller
    Dani Niemietz – Dance

    Costantini: From Picasso to Cocteau – Glass Art from Master Hand

    Some of the greatest artists of the 20th century, such as Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Fernand Léger, Marc Chagall, Jean Arp, Jean Cocteau, Max Ernst, Roberto Matta, and Paul Jenkins, created extraordinary glass sculptures in collaboration with the Venetian glass master Egidio Costantini. Costantini sought to elevate the craft of glassblowing to the same level as sculpture and, from the 1950s onward, collaborated with many of the most famous painters of his time, transforming their designs into superlative works of glass art.
