BEST OF POETRY SLAM

Four of Germany's finest slam poets take the stage: direct, clever, funny, precise, poetic, and delivered with full force.

No filler, no literary waste, no texts that leave you wondering after three sentences whether this is art or just very confidently performed. Instead: 100 percent texts that are funny, tender, angry, or radical at exactly the right moment. On this stage stand the best slam poets in the country - people who do things with language that others would need a fog machine and a funding programme for. Stories that linger. Poems that take risks.

And because a good evening rarely consists of words alone, there will also be a musical guest who will enchant the evening in their own unique way.

Best Of Poetry Slam means: the strongest voices, the cleverest texts, the wildest side of literature. The most beautiful, liveliest, and most unpredictable form of the spoken word. Mainz gets what it deserves - an evening at the highest level.
