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.

    Panoptikum - Wax Museum

    Fascination between wax and reality A selfie with pop star Adele, the Queen and Angela Merkel? That is possible, in the Panoptikum in Hamburg. The Panoptikum in Hamburg St. Pauli was founded in 1879, making it the oldest Wax museum in Germany. The Faerber family has carried on this tradition for five generations - with dedication, care and great attention to detail. Because: Similarity to the original is no coincidence. But true art. Visitors experience this very special art on over 700 m² of exhibition space. The Panoptikum is a fascinating world of wax, in which reality and fantasy merge with each other. Currently more than 120 personalities from art and culture, sport and politics, society and history are shown - including many celebrities and real megastars. The best thing: The stars and starlets are not photo-shy at all and wait patiently for photos from the private paparazzi. Photography is in the exhibition expressly permitted, after all, selfies with the wax figures belong to everyones visit of the Panoptikum! In addition to current personalities such as singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, singer Helene Fischer, US President Donald Trump and Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie, local celebrities such as Olivia Jones will also be present. Additionally, historical figures such as Henry VIII, Albert Einstein and Friedrich von Schiller are shown. A horror scene and a medical-anatomical cabinet complete the collection. The visit to the Panopticon lasts 45 to 60 minutes. A free audioguide provides visitors with information about the wax works on display in German and English. Admission times Monday to Friday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m Saturday 10 a.m. – 10 p.m Sunday 10 a.m. – 8 p.m Panopticon | Spielbudenplatz 3 | 20359 Hamburg Telephone 040 31 03 17 | Fax 040 51 29 63 | info@panoptikum.de | www.panoptikum.de

    Poetry Slam Workshop

    Einlass: 10:45 | Beginn: 11:00

     

    „Dieser eine Text, der irgendwie noch nicht ganz rund ist. Diese Unsicherheit, auf der Bühne neue Dinge auszuprobieren. Das Gefühl, dass man irgendwie nicht so recht weiterkommt. Genau da setzt diese Poetry Slam Workshop Reihe an. Wir werden Texte abrunden, verfeinern und nachwürzen. Wir werden neue Performance Ideen sammeln und vor allem werden wir uns austauschen, darüber wie man sich als Newcomer*in weiterentwickelt. Das wird ganz wunderbar!“

     

    Mit Schreibübungen und Impulsen bekommt ihr neue Perspektiven auf Themen und Ansätze, aber auch die Arbeit an euren Texten wird nicht zu kurz kommen. Im Vordergrund steht natürlich immer noch der Spaß an der Sache und die Liebe zur Sprache. Denn beim Slam Workshop lernt ihr Gleichgesinnte kennen – ob Newcomer*in oder schon ein wenig auf den Bühnen bewandert. Ihr bekommt einen Einstieg in die Slam-Szene und einen Austausch über eure und andere Texte!
