WORD UP! Poetry Slam Deluxe

Featuring: Lena Stokoff, Johanna Bauer, Lenny Felling and Stefan Unser.

Music: Salma mit Sahne

Host: Jonas Neuhäußer

Poetry slam has been winning over audiences for years with its distinctive blend of literature and live performance - not just on the stages of cultural venues, clubs and pubs, but in the hearts of listeners everywhere. Performers present their texts within a set time limit and let the audience decide who wins. Form and content are entirely open, which is exactly what makes every slam unpredictable and gripping right to the end.

Expect a lively mix of wit, emotion, sharp social commentary and genuine depth. For this "Deluxe" edition, WORD UP! has brought some of Germany's most acclaimed slam poets to Heidelberg. Singer-songwriter Salma mit Sahne provides the musical backdrop, with Jonas Neuhäußer hosting the evening.
