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.

    PIQSIQ

    The two sisters Inuksuk Mackay and Tiffany Ayalik bring the traditional throat singing of the Inuit people up to date in a unique way with modern loop technology – and to Hamburg as part of the »Arctic Voices« festival. The centuries-old »Kattajaq« originated as a game to provide entertainment in Arctic temperatures: two women stand facing each other, hold each other tight and sway to the rhythm of their breathing. With their voices, they produce sounds that intertwine to create a rhythm – call and response. Who can go the longest without breathing, without losing the timing, without coughing or laughing? PIQSIQ begin each of their songs in a traditional way and then layer their voices into endless harmonies and improvisasions.

    Politische Perspektiven

    Leaning back in a velvet armchair is sometimes allowed. Not here! With CLICK in - debate: political perspectives, the Hamburg State Opera is launching a new discussion format that will take place four times per season. In 60-minute conversations with a guest, moderated by dramaturges or the artistic director, socially relevant and political topics that play a role in the current new productions of the Hamburg State Opera are discussed. After all, musical theater is always a mirror of the world - it takes up what moves society. The talks take place in front of an audience in the opera stabile. They offer the opportunity to get to know exciting personalities and to listen to them carefully so that the dialog on important topics is further stimulated. Beyond the stage performances. The world out there is changing fast, and so are the topics being discussed: Six weeks before the live conversation in opera stabile, the guests are finalized; seven days after the event, the conversation is published digitally. Wherever there are podcasts.
