POETRY SLAM EIMSBÜTTEL

POETRY SLAM EIMSBÜTTEL

Points like drumbeats, silver dance like sax-solos and rhymes like a forward racing beat, one two three - Slam!

We bring the poetry slam back to where it all started back then, in a jazz basement club between charged atmosphere, cool drinks and sultry air. After all, Slam took its first steps on the stage of the Green Mill Jazz Club in Chicago, so what could be more natural than to bring Slam back to those roots in Hamburg as well - to Birdland in Eimsbüttel, Hamburg's place for the connoisseur genre! Only that instead of groovy beats & solos, this time it hails language, perfomance & spoken word! With powerful words the slammers inspire the audience, wrap them up with quiet speech melodies, only to wake them up again with a thunderous roar! Slam as it used to be, dirty words, but cleanly worked. No leaves in front of the mouth, except on them is the text! One presenter, one microphone, 12 slammers, 100 pricked up ears. No frills, no fuss. Simply poetry slam in its original form.
