Poetry Slam

When microphone and lyric sheet meet in the Altstadtschmiede, there's no time to waste: At the poetry slam, hard truths, fiery confessions, brilliant poetry and pointed stories fly across the stage. Here, hammer and anvil are swapped for words and performance.
Real stars of the scene will be taking part this time: the reigning NRW champion Luise Wolff and the multi-award-winning beatboxer Kevin O'Neal. Michael Heide, Malek, Björn Rosenbaum, Jeanette Kasper-Feld and Zayd will also be on stage.

Diversity is not just announced here, it is lived: the stage is open to a wide variety of perspectives, styles and voices. But in the end, only one person can win the "Golden Horseshoe" and only the audience will decide.
The interactive evening will be hosted by Anna Lisa Azur.

The event is part of REspect4You and is a cooperation project between the city of Recklinghausen, the Altstadtschmiede and WoW Poetry Slam
