In the organizer's words:

Slam What...?!
Between Elbphilharmonie and Elbbrücken, in the heart of HafenCity, there is shouting, speaking, whispering and spitting, rhyming and floshing, paraphrasing and embellishing, rapping - and above all, slamming. Because where posh apartments, tourist attractions and the city's most expensive Schanzenbäcker bakery rub shoulders with hip bowl restaurants, a little subcultural verve, a little spoken ruckus, a little extravaganza in word garb is also needed. And that's where a poetry slam in the neighborhood's finest dive naturally comes in handy.

"Slam What...?!" is not about time or space, but about the best stories, the most blatant poems, the niftiest rhymes and the most poignant punchlines. A classic format with a jury from the audience and presenter David Friedrich bringing a breath of fresh air to the HafenCity air corridors. With four fantastic slammers, he creates a rousing evening with the sound of the Elbe in the background and a hint of salt in the air, both in the air and on the lips.
