HIPHOPOETEN

In the organizer's words:

HIPHOPOETES

RAPhilosophy - Of Sense and Zen in HipHop

The HIPHOPoets have been proving that rap is literature - and vice versa - for over ten years now at various theaters throughout Germany. Now they go one step further and show that rapping is actually a form of philosophizing and how much wisdom is hidden in hip hop lyrics.

Thus, the third program of the three actors and hip-hoppers is far more than a reading of hip-hop lyrics.

Between singing bowls and turntables, yogi-tea and beer, fortune cookies and gold chains, the HIPHOPoeten go on a journey with their audience: With Käpt'n Peng, they ask themselves what man is capable of, celebrate life before death with Sido, experience the search for meaning as a quiz show with Blumentopf, marvel at universal genius with Kollegah and sound out the boundaries between man and machine with Dendemann and Megaloh.

In the process, the rap lyrics become poems, mini-dramas, chants, radio plays - and thus accessible to everyone, from the die-hard HipHopHead to the educated middle-class boomer.

But even classic texts are subjected to the flow test and packed onto beats, "MC Oracle" is asked for advice in his freestyles, beatboxing is a search for (philosphical) depth - and the evening is sure to be another declaration of love to hip hop culture.
