Poetry Slam Championship

The live literature format ‘Poetry Slam’ stands for funny stories, fast-paced poetry, political wit, emotional narratives, or all of the above. Performers compete against each other with texts they have written themselves within a time limit of six minutes. The audience votes and decides who wins and who loses.

A total of 16 participants will compete in two semi-finals at the Grenzlandtheater. From these preliminary rounds, the best eight performers will qualify for the grand final at Theater Aachen. For over a year, they have battled their way through numerous competitions with their poetry to reach for the crown at the U20 state championships.

Get ready for unique and moving shows with the best newcomers to German-language stage poetry!
