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.

    La Traviata

    The evening begins with excerpts from Olivier Messiaen’s epoch-making »Quartuor pour la fin tu temps«, which premiered almost exactly 85 years ago, on 15 January 1941, in front of prisoners of war at the Stalag prison camp in Görlitz. Performed by musicians from the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra and Florian Weber on piano. The program continues with the world premiere of »Dances From The Messiaen Moment« an original work by composer Tim Hagans that takes the musical and philosophical theories of Messiaen and brings them for the first time into the modern jazz idiom for a multi-movement journey through worlds where there is no time.
