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.

    Selig Sextett; Klangraum (Selig Quintett;David Herzog Quartet)

    Einlass: 18:30 | Beginn: 10:00 |

     

    Das »Selig Sextett« vereint Studierende aus unterschiedlichen Teilen der Welt, die in Hamburg zueinandergefunden haben und musikalisch eng zusammengewachsen sind. Aus gemeinsamen Jam-Sessions hervorgegangen, präsentiert das Ensemble ein Repertoire, das moderne Eigenkompositionen ebenso umfasst wie klassische Jazzstandards. Prägend ist eine Klangästhetik, in der spürbare Vertrautheit und gemeinsame Spielfreude zu einem eigenständigen Bandsound verschmelzen.

    Das David Herzog Quintet »Klangraum« widmet sich dem Modern Jazz als Arbeit am Raum: In weitläufigen, atmosphärisch dichten Klanglandschaften verbindet das Quintet zeitgenössische Idiome mit freier Improvisation, der klaren Ästhetik des skandinavischen Jazz und rhythmischen Einflüssen südafrikanischen Jazz. Die Musik entfaltet sich im Spannungsfeld von strukturierter Komposition und offenem Spielraum. So entsteht ein klanglich präzises, zugleich atmendes Zusammenspiel.

    Sex, Stories und Kiezgeflüster... Die Tour über die ihr noch lange sprecht.

    KiezSecrets isn't a typical city tour—it's my very own personal story. I created this concept myself, exclusively by me, without copy and paste, without any frills.

    I'm a former dominatrix and worked as a sex worker for 18 years – seven of those years in various studios throughout Germany. At some point, the moment came when I knew: These stories had to come out. Real. Unadulterated. Straight from the neighborhood.

    Thus, KiezSecrets was born – a unique tour. A tour that delves deep beneath the surface. This isn't about sights or tourist anecdotes – it's about real life, real experiences, and stories that are never told otherwise.

    What you can expect:

    On my tour, you'll meet real locals, not actors. You'll have the chance to chat with my former colleagues – real sex workers who are willing to answer your questions honestly. How does the business really work? What's myth and what's reality? Want to know what goes on behind the doors of Herbertstrasse? I'll tell you – unfiltered and direct.

    No secrets. No taboos. No show.

    I answer every question on every tour – honestly, directly, without censorship. No one else does that. I want you to not just see the neighborhood, but understand it.

    KiezSecrets isn't just a tour—it's an encounter with a slice of life that many only know by hearsay. And you're right in the middle of it.

    Simplicity – The Reduction of the Moment

    The photo exhibition “Simplicity” presents a selection of graphic and minimalist black-and-white photographs by Hamburg-based photographer Svensøn. The works distill urban scenes into refined compositions shaped by light, structure and clear geometric lines. Focused on reduction and clarity, the images reveal the quiet aesthetics hidden within everyday moments. Rooted in fine art street photography, the exhibition invites viewers to experience the urban environment through a calm, distilled visual language.

    Hector Berlioz’s »Symphonie fantastique« is a cult-like reverence for art and the emotional worlds of the artist. The unspeakable, complex emotions that can truly be expressed in their full depth only through music are explored in this work with intense breadth and depth in every direction.

    The Symphony Orchestra of the University of Hamburg will perform this unique masterpiece of music history in the second part of the concert. In the first part, the Chamber Choir of the University of Hamburg will devote itself entirely to longing, affection, trust, and vulnerability – in short, to powerful emotions in their most artistically elevated forms – through fantastic works by Johannes Brahms, Gustav Mahler, Jaakko Mäntyjärvi, and Caroline Shaw.

    Sinnesstreifzug mit Glühwein/ Apfelpunsch durch Speicherstadt und Hafencity

    Even in the cold season, it's time to sharpen your senses! On our special winter city tour, the Winter Sensory Tour through Hamburg's Speicherstadt and Hafencity, you'll experience the historic yet modern Hamburg up close.

    What does the harbor smell like? Can you taste Hamburg? Who or what are Quiddjes? What's the deal with the pepper sacks? We begin our tour in the historic part of the harbor, the UNESCO World Heritage Site Speicherstadt. Here, we take a look at old brick warehouses and are enchanted by a quaint courtyard.
    We will take you back to Hamburg of days long gone with small and surprising touch, smell and taste experiences.

    We take these sensory impressions with us on our journey to the modern HafenCity – a contrast beyond compare. Here we see how a former port area has gradually developed into an urban living space and will continue to develop.

    In addition to interesting facts about Hamburg's history and present, it is above all your imagination that will receive one or two impulses on our sensory tour - so that you don't just look at Hamburg from the outside, but experience it with your skin and hair.

    And to warm your heart even in winter, we invite you to a delicious mulled wine or apple punch at the end of our tour in our Rosinenfischer Kontor in the Speicherstadt.
