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.

    Tischlein deck dich - Kellertheater

    Clara, Anton, and Bente, the children of a stubborn master tailor, set out into the world to learn a trade. At the end of their apprenticeship, they each receive a special gift from their eccentric masters, but this gift lands the three in some exciting turmoil. Always with them is Lotti, a clever, rapping, and ever-hungry goat.

    TITANIC - schöne Menschen spielen große Gefühle

    An evening for fans – with fans. An actress and an actor enthusiastically demonstrate their love for a film that embodies grand emotions: TITANIC. They perform their favorite scenes, sing, dance, play music, and provide top-notch entertainment at Hamburg's theater. With minimal resources, they create the entire luxury liner, complete with salon, lower deck, railings, and much more, slipping into a variety of roles and transporting their audience into the world of the most tragically beautiful lovers in film history. A fast-paced, merciless parody of the classic film starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio.

    Anke Bautzmann was awarded the Michael Bogdanov Prize 2025 as best up-and-coming actress.

    With Anke Bautzmann and Tobias Schaller

    Directed by: Lars Ceglecki

    Tribute To Coco Schumann & Ghetto Swingers

    »I am a musician who was in a concentration camp. Not a concentration camp inmate who makes music,« Coco Schumann (1924-2018) always emphasised. During National Socialism, jazz was considered »degenerate music«, but he played it anyway. In March 1943, Coco Schumann was denounced and deported to Theresienstadt. He joined the jazz band »Ghetto Swingers«, which was founded there. The music initially protected Coco from deportation to an extermination camp. He was sent to Auschwitz in 1944 and continued to make music there. He survived the hells of the concentration camp and after the war became the first German electric guitarist, made the first German modern jazz recordings with Helmut Zacharias and played in a Heinz Erhardt film. Alexander Kranich tells the story of this exceptional guitarist and will play Schumann’s original guitar from the 1940s at the concert.
