Poetry Slam trifft STADTRADELN

In the organizer's words:

Renowned poets from the poetry slam scene in Lower Saxony and Bremen were invited to take a creative and eloquent look at the topics of cycling, city cycling and mobility. The texts written especially for this event are not only entertaining, but also thought-provoking and motivate people to take part in city cycling.
The art form of the poetry slam has established itself as an effective means of conveying messages in an emotional and accessible way. For the third time, the Working Group of Bicycle-Friendly Communities Lower Saxony/Bremen (AGFK) is sending the poetry slammers on tour through Lower Saxony and Bremen during the "City Cycling" period.
This year's line-up in the Lagerhalle consists of the following renowned and award-winning poets
and poets:

Antonia Josefa (Hanover) has been the absolute rising star among German-speaking stage poets since 2021. She was a finalist in the Lower Saxony-Bremen Poetry Slam Championships every time from 2021-24 and was runner-up in 2025. Her performance is powerful, her voice rebellious, her linguistic skills virtuoso, her message stirring. Her sometimes serious, sometimes humorous texts are honest, profound, moving and uncomfortable. Anyone who listens to Antonia is ready for the revolution.

Mia Heuse (Hildesheim) is a multiple finalist in the Lower Saxony-Bremen state championships and one of the most booked slammers in Lower Saxony, as her texts are considered absolutely unique. The doctoral student surprises again and again with her choice of topics, which she presents with a refreshing mixture of dry, bizarre and absurd humor. Mia Heuse stands for originally knitted, charmingly packaged and highly intelligent texts that could definitely only have been written by her.

Henrik Szántó (Hanover) is half Hungarian, half Finnish and lives as a writer, spoken word artist and presenter in Hanover. Henrik is a multiple poetry slam champion in the individual and team categories and performs as a spoken word artist on stages throughout the German-speaking world. His work to date has been recognized with numerous prizes and scholarships. He is regarded as highly performative, extremely humorous and observes the entanglements of human existence in all its forms with astuteness and understanding.

Lea Reich (Hanover) is a yoga teacher, environmental poet and does stand-up for the traffic turnaround. The 1.92m tall Hanoverian succeeds on stage in taking the audience into different, abysmal perspectives of the human ego and then reflecting on them self-deprecatingly. In doing so, she manages to take the audience with her into the curve to a more hopeful
future without losing her sense of humor. Lea is a member of the reading stage "Womansplained" and winner of various climate poetry slams.

Presenter: Simeon Buß (Osterholz-Schambeck) has been traveling the renowned stages of the republic as a successful slam poet since 2013. In 2015 he became Lower Saxony-Bremish state champion in poetry slam, 2023 vice champion, 2024 trizemeister and fourth at the German-speaking championships. In his texts, he cynically but empathetically dissects himself and our society with a bravura performance. His original style offers an explosive mixture of high-speed poetry, hip-hop and musical language. In the "Poetry Slam meets City Cycling" series, Buß mainly appears as a presenter.
