Experience culture. Poetry Slam in Hamburg

Poetry Fight Night

Every first Sunday, people compete against each other at Poetry Fight Night with german self-written texts that will make you laugh, cheer, go wild – or maybe even reflect for a moment. There’s everything here except boredom!

We’ll do everything we can to make sure this isn’t just an ordinary slam, but a show you’ll remember. You get the chance to decide who’s a top or a flop – and who wins the golden microphone in the end!

We know there are plenty of prejudices about this format, but we’ve made it our mission to fight them. That’s why there’s someone in a shark costume and even rock-paper-scissors duels… If you want to find out what that’s all about, come by and experience live the fantastic flair a poetry slam can have!

Professor Brian Cox

After performing his smash-hit show »Horizons« to nearly half a million people across the world, Professor Brian Cox is back with his new tour world tour »Emergence«. Brian has appeared in many landmark science programs for BBC radio and television over the last 15 years, from the Peabody Award-winning »Wonders of the Solar System« to the world-wide hit series »The Planets«.

Brian Cox says »I’ve loved creating ›Emergence‹ – it’s the most ambitious live show I’ve ever written. I’ve been very lucky to collaborate with a wonderful group of scientists, musicians, film makers and graphic artists to bring cosmology, biology, philosophy and history to the largest and most advanced LED screens available, with the best sound and lights I could find. I hope the show is an all-encompassing experience, and I hope it leaves everyone, whether they love science or music or history, or simply contemplating the beauty of Nature, with something new to think about.«

Proof

By David Auburn
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play

On the back porch of a quiet Chicago home, a brilliant young woman stands on the edge of a discovery that could change the world—and a breakdown that could destroy her life. After years caring for her genius father, a renowned mathematician battling mental illness, Catherine is left to confront the most dangerous equation of all: can she trust herself?

When her sister returns and a former student uncovers a groundbreaking mathematical proof, questions of authorship, inheritance, and truth threaten to tear the family apart. Is Catherine a genius in her own right—or has she inherited something far more fragile?

Proof is a moving, sharply written exploration of family, trust, and the fine line between brilliance and madness. A modern classic that asks:
What do we inherit—and what do we choose to believe?
