PARTICIPANTS
ARNOLD PRETZLAW
Arnold Max Paco Pretzlaw is 19 years old and has been performing on German-speaking stages since 2022. In 2024, he became Berlin-Brandenburg U20 Poetry Slam Champion. His interest in language forms and sound patterns led him to the poetry slam: in his poetry, he oscillates between free form and fixed stylistic patterns. His love of rhythms is a common thread running through his young and fresh work. In terms of content, he places himself somewhere between serious farewell and gecko techno (Geckno). So what comes next will lie somewhere on this spectrum.
GAUNER
Gauner is a legend of early Berlin rap and hip-hop culture. He has also been successfully performing at poetry slams for a good 21 years. Time and again, he performs solo or together with other poets from "Spokenword Berlin" at slams across Germany. Together with his slam colleagues Frank Klötgen and Wolf Hogekamp, he formed the Agrar Berlin slam team, which was runner-up in the team competition of the German-language poetry slam championships.
Gauner's texts are characterized above all by innovative but informal rhymes with often enigmatic double meanings that go far beyond mere wordplay. Sometimes politically sarcastic, sometimes serious and dramatic, sometimes strikingly personal and open. And rarely without humor.
