Poetry Slam - Große Worte auf der großen Bühne

A Poetry Slam is the poetic competition of our time and turns poetry into an experience. At the same time, it is also a platform for everyone - you just have to dare. The audience is right in the middle of it instead of just watching and determines the outcome of the competition through their applause. Tools such as instruments or costumes are prohibited. However, screaming, whispering, howling, panting, whistling, rapping - all of this is allowed to compete against each other. The weapons: poetry, voice, and body.

There is nothing to fear, as respect for the poet is at the center of the Poetry Slam.

Poetry Slam 43

Goethe & Schiller knocked off their pedestal!

Poetic entertainment... that's Poetry Slam. Mud wrestling of words. Every last Thursday of the month, slammers bring stories, thoughts, and feelings to the stage. In a Zimmertheater atmosphere. Poets from all over Germany or regional verbal veterans! Lyrical housewives, hysterical Germanists, or inexperienced newcomers... All fighting for the Golden Pencil.

Spectacular fireworks of words! The audience gasps with excitement. Collective laughter. Inspiration to take home. This is Poetry Slam. Text shapers, talented performance artists, or original characters... in the battle for the poet's crown. And the audience decides on defeat or victory. Poetry Slam... news broadcast, satire show, audiobook, and poetry album... Poetry Slam brings them all together. Be there!

5 poets have 5 minutes, one host, one jury, and many enthusiastic clapping hands. In the end, there can now be a champion. Who that will be, YOU decide!

Costumes and props are not allowed; only self-written pieces can be performed. As simple as the rules are, the success of the format is vast. Slam poets have been storming the cabaret scene for years, as well as comedy stages, literary houses, and theaters.

The 6th Ehinger Poetry-Slam-Nacht once again gathers some of the best poets from the German-speaking world and showcases in a spectacular show how exciting Poetry Slam can be.

Kamm ON! Poetry Slam

When established stage professionals from all over Germany compete with local talents in a battle of words, Poetry Slam is on the agenda. This format offers an immeasurable range: poetry, comedy, rap, short stories, prose, and everything in between.

Breathtaking alliterations are accumulated, symbolic synonyms are collected, and unparalleled comparisons are drawn. All of this until every hyperbole gets dizzy and the audience is thoroughly enchanted! Ultimately, they decide who wins the word duel and gets to take home the "golden comb."

The rules for participants are simple: only self-written texts, no props or costumes, six and a half minutes of speaking time. The evening is hosted by the Rhineland-Palatinate Poetry Slam Champion "Phriedrich Chiller."

The Kamm ON! Poetry Slam is also an open stage for language talents from the region. For these, 4 spots in the starting lineup are reserved at each event.

Poetry-Slam: Live, honest, diverse - presented by Slam Master Marius Loy

The competition of poetry is genre, scene, and movement at the same time. And for the audience, pure entertainment: Sometimes to laugh, sometimes to reflect, but always good! Direct, live, and exuberant, the performers give their best to leave the stage as the winner of the evening. Participants have seven minutes to present their self-written texts: without costumes, without props, only the spoken word matters. Perhaps it is this honesty that makes it appealing, or the diversity of the performances. Whether rhymed or narrated, touching or explosive, for heart, brain, or diaphragm: anything is possible and much is offered.
