Poetry Slam with interpretation into German sign language

The time has finally come again. At an “Inclusive Poetry Slam”, language and sign language poets present their self-written works on stage. On this evening, it doesn’t matter whether you are hearing or not. The presentations will be translated.

From funny stories to dark tales – no matter where you come from, how old you are or what you like. The word gives everyone on stage the power to express themselves.

Would you like to take part?
Would you like to spin stories of love, truth and betrayal? Or angrily hurl injustice in the face of the system? It can all happen. WRITE A TEXT. Find a place where you can be creative. There is no right or wrong! GET IN TOUCH WITH US. We’ll make an appointment with you, you’ll get all the information and SHOWTIME. Let’s go!

How a poetry slam works:
Poets, stage writers and wild word twisters duel it out at a poetry slam. They present their written works with spoken words and humour. Then it’s the audience’s turn to judge their contributions with loud applause.

Participation rules:
1. the text must be self-written! Quotations must be labelled! Whether poetry, prose, stand-up or rap – any form of text is permitted.
2. there is a time limit! The text presentation should be between 5 and 10 minutes.
3. props! It’s about you and the text (regardless of whether the object is related to the text). However, a text sheet, if necessary, is allowed.
4. no dressing up! We ask that you do not dress up so that texts are not distorted. On stage you look as you always do.
5. no singing! No matter whether someone can sing well or badly. A sung part before a slam is allowed by arrangement, but not during the slam.
