„Schönheit der Religionen" – Poetry-Slam, Konzert und Klang

Under the title "Beauty of Religions", the begegnen e.V. association is organizing an interreligious cultural event that will take place on three consecutive evenings in Wuppertal, Bochum and Münster. The program combines poetry slam, music and sound art to create an artistic experience that focuses on the inspiring aspects of religious traditions.

The three poetry slammers Lamyae Adnine, Finn Holitzka and Henrik Szántó will take to the stage to present texts from different religious perspectives. The festival will be accompanied musically by the Israeli-Iranian ensemble Sistanagila, which will play works from centuries-old Jewish and Iranian musical traditions as well as contemporary compositions. Sound collages by artist Marcus Beuter, based on interviews with people who talk about the beauty of religions, will be played between the texts and the music. The collages connect the individual contributions and offer a special acoustic space for encounters and reflection.

Venues and times:

• Tuesday, June 30, 7 p.m., die börse, Wuppertal
• Wednesday, 1.7., 7 p.m., Bahnhof Langendreer, Bochum
• Thursday, 2.7., 7 p.m., B-Side, Münster

Admission from 18:30 in each case

The poetry slam contributions are in German.

Tickets are available in advance at a reduced price online, as well as at the Box Office against cash payment.

According to the venues, all three events are barrier-free and wheelchair-accessible.

"Beauty of Religions" is sponsored by "Do you know who I am?" - the project of the three major religions for peaceful coexistence in Germany, which is funded by the Federal Ministry of the Interior in implementation of the goals of the German Islam Conference based on a resolution of the German Bundestag.
