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.

    Wie normal bist du denn?

    Today, candidates Karl-Heinz and Hartmut face their biggest challenge:
    Finally, they want to change, finally, they too want to be completely normal. But what even is normal, and who decides that? Today, it's up to you. Yes, now you come into play and become part of the challenge: Hartmut or Karl-Heinz?
    Which candidate do you choose, who do you cheer for? Who do you put through the wringer to optimize, desaturate, desensitize, and refine? And will they then fit your mold? Which of the two will become the ultimate NormOpath and, thanks to you, snag the coveted title of SuperNormalo 2026?
