In the organizer's words:

A top-class poetry slam show awaits you at the Oranienburger Orangerie: two slam pros will compete with cracking comedy, quiet poetry and beautiful stories. We invite two experienced slammers to convince you with three texts each - who will win the evening? You decide!

There is also our small newcomer round for young up-and-coming poets and comedians. Do you write yourself and want to try it out? This is your stage. Bring a text and that's it - there's no competition for our newcomers. And the audience gets an insight into the whole range of word art.

Anything can happen here: from political topics to light entertainment, from rhyming fireworks to thigh-slappers. But one thing is certain: everything here is handmade. This is not just literature. This is a grab bag of evening entertainment. Welcome to the Poetry Slam Oranienburg.
