Best of Poetry Slam - präsentiert von Kampf der Künste
Welcome to your mind. Best of Poetry Slam, that's when poets and storytellers, the courageous and the wild, the nerds and the quiet ones, meet and compete against each other only with words and gestures. The prize? Nothing less than adrenaline and applause, euphoria, an audience that decides whether this is nonsense or ecstasy, in short: whether this text might be the best story of all time. An audience that is you. But above all, Poetry Slam is the slam poets of this country. They fill arenas, sometimes whole stadiums. They are no longer a niche, they have long been the phenomenon they have always been. They juggle with wild ideas, their rhythm a beat of sentences, their stories a fireworks display of vocabularies, they race through ear canals and ignite minds, each of them speeding at 180 on the highway of thoughts. And we bring the best of them to you, onto the stage of the Kulturforum! Five top poets compete against each other at the BEST OF POETRY SLAM, moderated by the most popular slam moderators, presented by Kampf der Künste. These five want nothing less than your mind, your ears, your favor. They face off in the toughest competition of the night, the best of the best against the best of the best in a sensational poetic battle.
And so, what lies behind every good competition remains – it's never just about winning, it's about the moment, about a feeling that unites every slam: to be part of the magic that arises from stories, to become part of the wave that this evening carries within itself. This applies to every poet, to every BEST OF POETRY SLAM, to everyone who is a part of it. In the end: it's about nothing less than words and madness, about poetry and genius, and every text is a world that only comes to life in your mind.
