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.

    GASLIGHT

    Gaslight

    Patrick Hamilton's psychological thriller Gaslight is a chilling study in manipulation and madness. When Bella Manningham begins to doubt her memory and sanity, her husband Jack seems all too ready to confirm her fears. But as gaslights flicker and footsteps echo from empty rooms, a darker truth begins to surface. Set in Victorian London, this gripping classic inspired the term “gaslighting” and remains initially relevant today. In a tense atmosphere of suspicion and fear, Gaslight keeps audiences guessing until the final revelation. This new production at The English Theater of Hamburg combines period elegance with nail-biting suspense, plunging viewers into a world where nothing is as it seems, and one woman must find the strength to reclaim her truth before she loses everything.

    Ghalia Benali / Ensemble Constantinople

    »For me as a child, Oum Kalthoum was the voice of God,« admits Ghalia Benali. »Her voice touched the soul, not just the ears.« Born in Brussels and raised in a family of artists in Tunisia, the singer came into contact with different styles of music at an early age – and continues to dance between cultures to this day. One of her greatest inspirations remains Oum Kalthoum, arguably the most famous voice in the Middle East, whom Benali considers her »honorary grandmother«. Together with Iranian setar virtuoso Kiya Tabassian and his Ensemble Constantinople, Benali devotes herself to setting the poems of the »Rubaiyat« to music.

    GOME + The Gang w/ Dan Shake

    GOME + The Gang returns to the beloved home base, Golden Pudel – Hamburg's legendary club known for its raw energy, no-nonsense attitude, and cutting-edge music policy. GOME have made this night their own, turning it into a true gathering for house music lovers – deep grooves, high energy, and a dancefloor that doesn't stop. This time, Dan Shake joins the gang. The London-born DJ and producer made history as the first non-Detroit artist to release on Moodymann's Mahogani Music, setting the tone for a career built on groove, funk, and fearless energy. His sets blend everything from disco and acid to Afrobeat and broken beat – always playful, always irresistible. With releases on his own SHAKE label, as well as Delusions of Grandeur and Mahogani, Dan has become a mainstay on the world's best dancefloors, from Printworks in London to DC-10 Ibiza to Glastonbury and beyond. Expect that unmistakable Shake swing – pure movement from start to finish. And, of course, GOME will be there as your very own hosts – bringing their signature mix of groove-heavy, 90s-influenced house - raw, deep, soulful and sometimes a bit trippy. After a packed year with festival shows at Down The Rabbit Hole, MS Dockville, and Wildeburg and club nights in Ibiza, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Paris, Tbilisi, Rome, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro... they return home to Hamburg stronger than ever, with a fantastic new release on Dam Swindle's Heist called "Chop Shop EP". Coming home to Hamburg makes every GOME + The Gang night something special – a true family gathering. If you've been before, you know what to expect: a night built for real house music heads, where the dancefloor stays sweaty and alive from start to finish. Saturday, December 13 – Golden Pudel, Hamburg GOME + The Gang with Dan Shake + GOME No gimmicks. Just proper house music. See you there.
