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.

    Shavnabada Choir

    One of Georgia’s legendary vocal ensembles is coming to the Elbphilharmonie for the first time: the Shavnabada Choir from Tbilisi. Under the baton of David Tsintsadze, the ensemble unfolds the full power and delicacy of Georgian polyphonic singing, recognised by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage: complex melismatic chants, lyrical songs, the breathtaking Guruli yodelling style »Krimanchuli«, Christian and pre-Christian hymns, accompanied by the sound of centuries-old instruments. Joining them on stage as guests: Liza Bagrationi, one of Georgia’s most beloved voices, and Nato Metonidze, star of the Georgian Estrada. An evening of raw power and grace.

    SKULPTURAL

    With "SCULPTURAL. The New Galleries," the Hamburger Kunsthalle presents its sculpture collection for the first time in a comprehensive exhibition spanning media and eras: A 1,500 m² exhibition space unfolds, featuring over 500 sculptures, reliefs, paintings, prints, photographs, spatial and video installations from 2,500 years of art history in surprising juxtapositions – from antiquity to the present day, from two to three dimensions, from miniature to monumental. A special focus is placed on the newly discovered treasure of the collection: the miniature sculptures – "sculptures en miniature," as the first director, Alfred Lichtwark, called them: masterpieces of coin, medal, and relief art in gold, silver, and bronze. These new discoveries encounter masterpieces of all media, such as the larger-than-life sculptures of Auguste Rodin or Aristide Maillol, ancient portraits enter into dialogue with contemporary photography, reliefs by Käthe Kollwitz with body casts from the 1960s and video works by Marina Abramović, among others.
